Department-Developing EntrepreneursThe Electrical Engineering
Department is headed by Dr Anupama Deshpande . Dr Deshpande has
done her PhD from IITB. The Electrical Engineering dept has
strength of 10 Faculty members- all PG in engineering.Dr Anupama
Deshpande was Principal of Atharva College of Engg. The journey of
students of Atharva college of Engineering under the mentorship of
Dr. Anupama Deshpande from Innovation to Entrepreneurship has
resulted in outcomes below.AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONThe
awards/achievements of the team are as follows:Selected in Top 50
Innovators in IIGP by Govt of India and other

group.Got Business mentoring from Stanford Graduate School of
Business.Awarded Innovation & Creativity Award in 2012 for
Smart Street Light from NENExhibited at Bombay Convention Centre,
NESCO; EDI-Ahmedabad, Bangalore, etcIntegral in getting Runners Up
award twice in entrepreneurship fest.TECHNICAL VENTUREA small
technical venture was started in the campus only in the name of
'Techno-world for giving the junior students hands on practice
through mini-projects & circuit designs. It contained use of
electronic instruments like Solder Gun, Bread-board, Multi-meter,
Cathode Ray Oscilloscope, Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Function
Generator, PCB etching, etc.The students were taught testing of
different components in circuitry & build interesting
mini-projects. They also implemented circuitry of Smart Street
Lights project. This venture gave our team a very good experience
of running a venture on small scale as record 80 students were
enthusiastic to learn. We conducted 8 to 10 sessions over a period
of 4 months.
The Technical Projects attempted as mini projects arein
Entrepreneurship - Week & Techithon fest as listed below: Lie
Detector FM transmitter Mobile Detector DC Transformer Laser + IR
Transmitter & Receiver. Earthquake proof apartments Miniature
version of NASA robot Curiosity which was able to travel at high
speed, do drilling, digging, etc. Magnetic levitation train
prototype was made Bottle was made to levitate in air using gravity
opposing force.
The team is now ready for commercial venture for tapping solar
energy after graduation with ready designs for the following solar
applications Solar Lantern with Mobile charger Solar Water pumps
Solar Rooftop system Solar Farming Grid tied system Solar Off-grid
system Solar utility products
To help students choose their career, Electrical Department
plans to conduct Industry Institute Interaction Meet on Careers in
