IEEE NAGPUR || Event

A short term training program was organised during 11-16, February 2019 in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) Nagpur, Maharashtra (India) under the aegis of TEQIP Ill and IEEE Bombay Section. The program was coordinated by Prof. S. V. Kulkarni from IEEE Bombay Section and by Dr. M.R. Ramteke and Dr. M.S. Ballal from V"NIT Nagpur. The program was Inaugurated by the Chief Guest Dr. Pramod M. Padole, Director, VNIT, Nagpur, Maharashtra (India). About 15 researchers, faculty members and students from various states of India from reputed organizations attended this Short Term Training Program (STTP). It gave exposure to emerging trends in Electrical and Electronics Systems. The program included lectures on the following topics: Artificial Inteligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning including hands on sessions and tutorials on a python simulator, transformer diagnostics, Finite Element Method (FEM), energy and environmental issues and sustainable solutions, electric vehicles, renewable energy integration,and pulse width modulation techniques.
