  • Grocery Distribution During Covid 19

    Grocery Distribution During Covid 19

    NSS Unit of Pillai HOC College of Engineering & Technology, Rasayani always works for the people in the neighbourhood community. It has adopted village Gulsunde, Panvel on 10th December, 2019. The population of this village is around 6000 out of which around 600 are tribes there where development is required. Currently all are aware of the COVID 19 situation and people are struggling for food because of lockdown. Government is also taking efforts and proving food stuff to all the people but is not enough for them. So we decided to help in adopted village and identified the needy people through Village representative Mr. Manoj Pawar, Grampanchayat Member, Gulsunde. We appealed faculty members and students to donate voluntarily for this purpose. We collected 40,000/- altogether from 50 faculty members and 6 students and brought grocery out of that. We bought Tur dal, Moong dal, Chana Dal, 1 litre Oil packets, 1 kg salt packets, onion, potato, soaps etc. We made 100 food packets each containing 1 kg Tur dal, 1 kg Moong dal, 1 kg Chana Dal, 1 litre Oil packet, 1 kg salt packet, 1 kg onion, 1 kg potato, 2 soaps, toothpaste etc. and distributed to 100 famillies in the tribal region of Gulsunde village on 21st April, 2020. The activity was co-ordinated by NSS co-ordinators Dr. Avinash gatade and Ms. Rekha Dhawan along with non teaching staff members Mr. Nitin Gopale and Mr. Mahendra Mali.

    antenna workshop (3)

    One of the major challenges faced by the students learning Electromagnetics and Wave Theory course at the graduate level in Electronics and Communications Engineering is perhaps how to visualize Electromagnetic Wave Theory Concepts and translate them into Antenna & Microwave Designs. The primary objective of the proposed workshop was to enhance the effectiveness of teaching the subject through a series of hands on illustrative experiments bridging the theoretical concepts to the industry relevant practices. The program focussed on key concepts in Electromagnetism with application to Modern Antenna and RF System Design. It covered basic principles of Electromagnetics from Gauss Law, Ampere’s law up to Maxwell Equations and various CEM solvers like FEM, MOM, FDTD, PO and design of Antennas, Arrays, Metamaterials and RF systems.

    Complete simulation process was explained to students. Special antennas like Microstrip patch antennas, Filters, Helical antennas were explained along with design constraints. 31 students participated in this event. Session was conducted by subject teacher, Mr. Pratik Mhatre. Student found the session very useful and interesting.

  • Industrial Visit to Airport Utility Building

    Industrial Visit to Airport Utility Building

    Industrial Visit to Airport Utility Building – Mumbai International Airport Limited

    An industrial visit was arranged for TE Electrical Engineering students on 29th March, 2020.The goal of this visit was to provide an insight for the students with major in electrical engineering an on site feel of their curriculum. This enhances their approach in absorbing the dynamic points of theoretical learning. Students get an view of industry standards and workflow ethics. The various real time scenarios in turn comes with the learning package. The students were taken through the process of viewing the online recording of power consumption and status check of various equipment maintained in the airport to facilitate uninterrupted power supply for the perfect operation of the airport system.
