Short-Term Goals:

1. Curriculum Enhancement and Flexibility:

We aim to immediately leverage our autonomy to revise and update the curriculum, incorporating industry-relevant subjects, emerging technologies (like AI in power systems, advanced embedded systems, and sustainable energy solutions), and interdisciplinary approaches. 

2. Industry Integration and Skill Development:

A key focus will be on strengthening our ties with industries. We plan to establish more Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with leading companies for internships, guest lectures by industry experts, collaborative projects, and potential placement opportunities. 

3. Enhancing Laboratory Infrastructure:

We will prioritize upgrading our existing laboratories with modern equipment and software to align with current industry standards and facilitate advanced research and practical learning. This includes investing in newer oscilloscopes, signal generators, power analyzers, and setting up specialized labs for areas like renewable energy and IoT.

4. Faculty Development and Research Promotion:

We will encourage and support faculty members in pursuing advanced research, attending national and international conferences, and publishing in high-impact journals. We also plan to organize faculty development programs (FDPs) focused on emerging technologies and innovative teaching methodologies. Seed grants for initial research projects will be considered to foster a research culture.

5.Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Implementation:

 We will refine and strengthen our OBE framework to ensure that our teaching and assessment methods effectively measure the achievement of defined learning outcomes. This involves mapping course outcomes to program outcomes and continuously assessing the effectiveness of our pedagogical approaches.

6. Establishing Centres of Excellence:

We will explore the feasibility of establishing specialized centers of excellence in niche areas relevant to our regional needs and faculty expertise, such as smart grid technologies or sustainable energy solutions. These centres will serve as hubs for research, innovation, and industry collaboration.

Long-Term Goals:

1. Becoming a Leading Research Hub:

Our vision is to establish the EEE department as a recognized center for cutting-edge research and innovation in electrical and electronics engineering, attracting research funding and producing high-quality publications and patents.

2. Developing Specialized Programs:

We aspire to introduce specialized undergraduate and postgraduate programs in emerging interdisciplinary areas, such as Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation, or Smart Energy Systems, catering to evolving industry demands and student interests.

3. Fostering Entrepreneurship and Innovation:

We aim to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset among our students and faculty by establishing an incubation centre or collaborating with existing ones to support the development of innovative ideas and startups in the EEE domain.

4. Strengthening Global Collaborations:

We will actively seek collaborations with reputed international universities for student and faculty exchange programs, joint research initiatives, and curriculum benchmarking to enhance our global perspective and standards.

5. Achieving National and International Accreditations:

We will strive to achieve prestigious national and international accreditations (beyond the initial autonomous status) to validate the quality and standards of our programs and enhance our reputation.

6. Creating a Sustainable and Smart Campus Integration:

We envision integrating EEE principles and technologies into the college campus itself, making it a living laboratory for smart energy management, sustainable practices, and advanced automation. This could involve implementing solar power systems, smart lighting, and building automation controlled by our students' projects.
