The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) is made functional with the aim of producing qualified engineers with sound knowledge in electrical engineering and a strong background in electronics. At present, it offers one undergraduate degree, B.Tech. in EEE. Initially, the department was established in 2010, combined with existing Electrical Engineering department. It becomes operational as an independent department in year 2020. The department is offering an excellent academia environment to pursue B.Tech. in EEE, M.Tech. in EEE (PS&CA), proposed to be commenced from AY 2026-27, and Ph.D. in experts available with the department in specialized domain of research. This department also aims to establish itself as a forefront in R&Ds in the areas of AI and Machine Learning, Power System Optimization, Power System Automation, Smart Sensors, Intelligent and Robust Control, Image Processing, Digital Signal Processing, Industrial Communication, Biomedical Instrumentation, LiFi enabled Sensor Networks, IoT and Cyber Physical System. The department owns the credit of three completed projects and five ongoing research/ sponsored projects of worth more than ₹ 270 lakhs, funded by Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India; Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), Bangalore, Ministry of Power (MoP), Govt. of India, S&T department, Govt. of Odisha, and TEQIP grant by NPIU-MHRD, New Delhi. These projects are sponsored in the areas of LiFi enabled Sensor Networks, Smart Sensors, AI and Machine Learning, IoT and Cyber Physical System, and Communication System engineering.

Presently, the department is an integral part of the National Mission Mode Project for enhancing research facilities for establishing a facility to develop groundbreaking technology called LiFi enabled Sensor Networks (IEEE 802.11bb Standards) under ANRF - Partnerships for Accelerated Innovation and Research (PAIR) program. It is well-equipped state-of-the-art facility to test and calibrate the gas density sensor for SF6-GIS environment, supported under RSoP scheme by CPRI, Bangalore, Govt. of India. In this regard, a MoU has been signed between VSSUT and CPRI for the design and development of couple of state of art sensors for GIS application. Further, another research project funded under Seed Money Grant of Ministry of Higher Education, Govt. of Odisha and couples of consultancy and testing works funded by CPWD, Bhubaneswar and MCL, Burla are also ongoing at the department. In this way, the department has shown its deep involvement in industry-academia tie-up to solve some of real life for our society related to specialized domain of EEE in India. Department is in process of establishing different laboratories to augment the course works and enhance the experimental tests, validation, and research potentials such as CAD Electrical Apparatus Lab, Signals Lab, Embedded System Lab, Measurements and Instrumentation Lab, Circuits and Communication Lab, Automation & Sensors Lab, BTech Project Lab, and PhD Research Lab.

Our more than 80% final year students have already been successfully offered jobs by various companies, viz., L&T, Bhusan, Adani, Jindal, TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra etc. EEE students put their footprint at national and international level competitions from IITs, ISRO, BARC, HAL and Russian Federation. This glorious journey is kept on continuing by the students to achieve new heights. This department offers outcome-based education system where, our undergraduates have opportunities to join and take the exposure of two specialized research groups, namely, “Smart Power and Energy Systems” and “Instrumentation and Signal Processing”. Many of our students are readily involved with Innovation and Incubation Centre of the university where they not only get opportunity to get exposed to design and prototyping of their concepts but also learn skills to be established themselves as entrepreneurs in future. Further, two of our faculties have been awarded the Fellow position by the Institution of Engineers (India), Life Members by ISTE, India, and a Senior Member by IEEE, USA. The department holds one Patent in its credit; adapted one international edition book for Indian subcontinent, published one book, and have credit of publishing numerous high standard journal papers by different publishing houses of national and international repute. Our faculties are actively involved in different working groups of international committees for the implementation of Standards and Protocols.

Words from H.O.D.

The confidence in managing new technology requires continuous learning through novel approaches supported with research and development work. Thus, the department vision and mission reflects this, and my department joins me in meeting this mission by producing knowledgeable and dedicated technologists to serve our country and humanity as a whole.

Through our practices we make every effort to make an impact on our students to inculcate these values and support the mission of VSSUT. I welcome wholeheartedly our alumni to join hands in supporting our endeavors by all means of interactions.

Our doors are always open to Universities, research organizations, industries and utility companies to team up with us in building valuable knowledge society foreseeing bright future.
