1) Electrical Engineering Workshop
This workshop provides knowledge and practical skill in electrical wiring and soldering. It also creates a basic awareness of safety measures. It has a capacity to accommodate 36 students at a time.
2) Electrical Machines lab
The objective of this lab is to provide in depth knowledge of practical aspects of both AC and DC machines. This lab is also equipped with the state of the art measurement systems like digital tachometers, clamp-on meters etc.
The department library serves as the documentation centre in the department which makes available the old student project reports and seminar reports for student reference. The technical documents related to the events organized by the department are also preserved. In addition to the above the library purchases books and periodicals annually for faculty reference.
In connection with the strengthening of research activities in different technology frontiers, the centre for computational research in clean energy technologies is started functioning at the computational mechanics lab. The centre is envisioned as an interdisciplinary centre for computational research in energy related areas. The centre has its modest beginning in 2013 with three peer reviewed publications of international stature till date.
Government had given administrative sanction for the proposal – 'Project on Establishment of Hydrogen Generator and Dispensing unit to study the performance, operational issues and safety to cater to the e-mobility sector' at the estimated amount of Rs 9.66 crore (Rupees Nine crore and Sixty six lakh only)
Sree Chitra Thirunal College of Engineering is joining hands with the premier research/academic institutions in India which include NFTDC, IISc, IIT Madras and IIT Bhubaneswar as part of the multi-institutional centres on materials for energy conservation and storage platform (MECSP) of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India. Materials for Energy Conservation and Storage (MECSP), a theme based initiative to support research and development for entire spectrum of energy conservation and storage technologies from early stage research to technology breakthroughs in materials, systems and scalable technologies to maximise resource use ef ciency. Under this scheme, it is proposed to conduct translational R&D (TRL 3 to TRL 7) in Materials to Hydrogen Based Devices in the area of solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), Hydrogen Storage and Metal Hydride Based Sorption Cooling. The consortium is lead by NFTDC, Hyderabad. DST-NFTDC Centre is one among the four such centres selected for funding by DST. The centre was officially launched at a function on 22nd Feb. 2019 in New Delhi. Dr. Balasubrasubramanian, Director, NFTDC is the principal investigator of the project along with other eminent scientists from other consortia centres as Co-PIs. Dr. G. Mohan, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering represent SCTCE as the Co-PI for the activities of the centre. As per the proposal, Sree Chitra Thirunal College of Engineering shall work on the design and simulation of hydrogen storage and cooling devices. DST shall provide required financial assistance for state of the art computing facilities in the campus.
