Different regulatory bodies, Electricity act, Indian standards followed for testing electrical components like current transformer, power transformer etc. were discussed. Concepts of energy accounting, prepared energy meter theft detection, billing procedure followed by MSEDCL were explained by the speaker. The change in needs of considering both lead and lag factors was also discussed. Recent problems faced due to oversized capacitor banks and harmonics introduced from end-user side were discussed.
The session was concluded with a question answer session at 12:30 p.m. Students have given positive feedback and they were expecting more session like the same.
PHCET and PCE successfully conducted workshop on “Application Programming Interface (API) using Autodesk Fusion 360 Software” for students and faculty members of PHCET and PCE. to cover various aspects of CAD/CAM/CAE and its application
Coordinator
Department
With reference to the new syllabus of CAD/CAM/CAE for SEM VII under the CBCGS scheme, the workshop was held for the participants to understand the basic concepts of API. API is new area and a concept which needs to be explored by the faculty for better understanding of the subject. The hands-on training session planned will guide the participants for conducting practical for the course.

SSE Students in TATA skill development seminar
The One Day Seminar was organized by Department of Electrical Engineering and it commenced at 10:00 a.m. on 26th August, 2019 in the 6th Floor, Seminar Hall. Prof. Ronita Pawn introduced the speaker Mr. S. K. Mahajan, Principal-TPSDI Shahad. He is having vast experience in the field of Power Transmission & Distribution as well as Operations areas. The Head of the Department, Ms. Pranita Chavan felicitated the speaker.
The guest speaker enlightened all the participants with career related opportunities in power sector. He explained various electrical courses required for students to improve their technical skills. Apart from curriculum, specialised training is must to secure challenging position in competitive world.
The Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) is an endeavour from the Tata Power Company to empower youth and others with employable skills, especially in the Power and allied sectors and to address the skill gap challenge faced by the Indian Power Sector. The Institute provides modular training and certification across a wide range of employable skills.
The Institute has set up five training hubs in four locations in the country leveraging the facilities of Tata Power and its JV / Subsidiaries:
The session was concluded with a question answer session at 12:30 p.m.
The One Day Workshop on Robotics Level-1 organized by IEI Student’s Chapter of Department of Electrical Engineering commenced at 9:30 a.m. on 23rd August, 2019 in the Electrical Seminar Hall, PHCET.
The event was held for the students of Second year and Third year of Electrical Department. It was held to make students aware about the Robotics and the benefits of carrier in it. They were informed about robotics field.
Robotic technologies are used to develop machines that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots can be used in any situation and for any purpose, but today many are used in dangerous environments (including bomb detection and de-activation), manufacturing processes, or where humans cannot survive. Information about the robotics in much greater detail was passed on to students. This helped them understand more deeply what robotics is and how they can shape their studies to form a carrier in the same.
This workshop comprises of giving the participating students an idea about Robots, Robotics, Types of Robots and their applications, Career in Robotics, Introduction to Arduino, test running the car, doubt clarification session.
We concluded our workshop with ROBO-SOCCOR match, where all the students enjoyed a lot and were interested in Level-2 Robotics Workshop.
Department of Civil Engineering conducted One Day National Workshop on “Non-Destructive Testing of Concrete: An Innovative Approach” on 23rd August, 2019. The workshop started with traditional lamp-lighting ceremony and a welcome address by Mr. Raju Narwade, Head of the Civil Engineering Department including brief introduction of the mission, vision and activities conducted in the department. This was followed by introduction of the workshop theme by Ms. Gayatri Deshpande (Convener of the workshop).
The main objective of the workshop was to explore and discuss the new techniques of Non-Destructive testing for concrete structures. Concrete Technology is very important subject of civil engineering. Its knowledge is required during planning, design and construction to ensure economical and safe designs of structures. Eminent speaker from illustrious company of Structwel Designers and Consultant Pvt. Ltd. was invited to address real-time testing done in construction work. Mr. Kaustubh Raikar (Executive Director) has delivered a seminar on various non-destructive testing on concrete such as Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity test, Rebound Hammer test, Cover meter test, Half Cell Potential test, Carbonation test, Core test, Infrared Thermography test, Endoscope test with the examples of practical case studies. Hands on training on this above mentioned instruments were also given to students which helped a lot for understanding the concept.
Around 180 participants from third year, final year masters students and faculty of various engineering colleges attended the workshop, enriched their knowledge and skill in this field. The participants furnish positive feedback about the workshop. The workshop helped the participants to get well acquainted with various innovative approach and aspects of concrete testing and implementation in the real situations.
