Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering Department Infrastructural Facilities

In Jadavpur University Illumination Engineering is taught to all pre-final year students as compulsory.
16 to 18 final year students take this subject as elective each year in day time and part time evening course.
We have a very good laboratory split into four parts :
(a) Lighting power conditioning laboratory
(b) Electronic ballast testing laboratory (c) Photometry laboratory (d) Artificial sky laboratory

• Photometric Laboratory.

• Artificial Sky Laboratory.

• Lamp Control Gear Design & Development Laboratory.

• Lighting System Simulation Laboratory.
