Vidya Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) is a state-of-the-art engineering college conforming to international standards. This model engineering college is approved by AICTE and affiliated to APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University.

In few years VAST has evolved and achieved recognition as a notable School of Engineering with its competent and committed faculty, high quality infrastructure and high technology teaching aids, and by providing a serene atmosphere that complements academic life.

VAST has a holistic approach to education where academic training goes hand in hand with offerings that develop the body,mind and soul to prepare its graduates to be future leaders.

The Department of Electrical and Electronics started functioning from the beginning of College itself in the year 2003. The Department offers NBA accredited B.Tech (UG) Program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and M.Tech (PG) program in Power Electronics.

The Department is backed up by highly qualified and dedicated teachers. The programme prepares students for prospective careers in Energetics, Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution and in traditional industries requiring powered machinery, power electronics, automated instrumentation controls, etc.

Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, adopting more fuel efficient technologies and shifting to renewable sources of energy are required to reduce global warming and mitigate the adverse climatic changes. This Faculty Development Program on “Recent Trends in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conversion Systems” focuses on current and emerging trends in the respective area.

The primary objective of this course is to enlighten faculty members of KTU affiliated colleges on recent trends in renewable and sustainable energy systems such as solar, wind etc. in various engineering and industrial applications. The course will provide hands on experience on design, modelling and implementation of various power converters and its control for renewable energy systems.

The course will be also useful for the research aspirants in the field of power electronics, renewable and sustainable energy systems.
