The ENCON GREEN CLUB of SJCET was started by the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department to focus on Energy Conservation and Environment Protection activities. Effective Energy Utilization & identification of the areas of possible energy conservation and environmental protection are carried out at SJCET under the guidance of the HoD, EEE Dept. Our goal is to become as self reliant as possible in the use of energy and water in our campus and be an example to other institutions. ENCON GREEN CLUB of SJCET is affiliated to the ENCON Club of BPCL Kochi from 2009 onwards and was inaugurated on 12th October 2009. The management, faculty and the students of our college consciously join hands to make the campus eco-friendly and energy efficient.

The Gandhi Global Solar Yatra (GGSY) was organized by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and IIT Bombay in the context of climate change, energy access, self-sufficiency in energy and global harmony marking the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. As a culmination event, the Students Solar Ambassador Workshop was organized on 2nd October 2019 wherein more than 1 Million students received hands-on training in the solar lamp assembly across the globe. As part of this great initiative, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of SJCET joined hands with Gandhi Global Solar Yatra mooted by Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Govt. of  India under the leadership of IIT Bombay. ENCON Green Club and SJCET Bootcamp associated with this movement and organized workshop on 2^nd October 2019. 50 students of SJCET from various departments registered and actively participated in the entire programme. Prof. P. V. Varkey, HoD EEE, Prof. Jojin Thomas, AP EEE, Prof. Don Cyril Thomas, AP EEE and Prof. Anoopraj M. R, AP EEE handled different sessions of the workshop.

SJCET bagged the Kerala State Renewable Energy Award 2018 , constituted by Agency for Non-conventional Energy & Rural Technology (ANERT) in the category of Educational Institution for the contribution towards renewable energy projects and energy conservation methods implemented.

Due to the lack of available land, high-rise structures are becoming more common in today’s society as the need for commercial and residential space rises. Additionally, the need for aesthetics in urban settings, cultural significance, and status drive human aspiration to develop higher through technological advancements in structural systems.
On 3rd May 2023 Prof. P.V. Varkey the former HoD of Electrical & Electronics Engg. department took an informative class on the electrical system design of the St. Francis block, the six-storey building in the college. 25 students of S8EEE were actively participated in the class. At first, the class was on emergency switch of a high-rise building to cut-off the entire electricity in the building. Then we proceeded to the electrical room of the building. The electrical room was a pool of new knowledge to students. Different feeders were given to different floors, lifts, fire pumps and spare were given for the future expansions. The earthing of the building was explained. The generator connection and solar backup were taught during the session. Then we moved to the different types of ducts of the building. Among them, one of the most important was the fire duct. The building has an efficient firefighting system which include fire alarms, emergency switches for lifts in each floor, booster pumps etc. Also, the building has an emergency exists in both sides. The electrical duct, communication duct and UPS duct were explained in detail. After the class about ducts, the next discussion was on lifts. The lift technology and the electrical aspects of the lift were explained. After that the session comes to an end.
Prof. P. V Varkey’s class was very interesting and educational. It was a new experience to the students. Not only the electrical aspects, but also the civil aspects were also explained during the program. The entire session was excellent, and students were able to connect the theoretical material to an actual experience.

The department of EEE in association with continuing education and skill development cell conducted a visit to 11kV Substation for the third year (2020-24 EEE Batch) students on 15/12/2022. Professor Emeritus P.V. Varkey explained the fundamentals and operational details of Substation. During the field visit, he detailed all the information regarding distribution system and the functions of transformers and generators in power system. Students expressed their gratitude to the department for organizing such an informative session.

Audio-visual methods for teaching are always more effective over conventional teaching methods. There is an LED/LCD screen which plays videos on topics related to electrical machines and electronics devices. The labs are displayed with various charts on eminent personalities in the electrical field. Construction of various equipment and their principle of operation have been explained in other charts. These methods provide a better means to engross the students.
The teaching and learning process is made efficacious through animated power point presentation (ppt). Certain complex topics are made easier to understand through animation option available in ppt. This not only increases the attentiveness of the students but also makes the teaching and learning process easier.
Case-studies and group discussion on relevant topics especially during non-credit courses also inculcates soft skills in students.

Peer group teaching-learning method is adopted where a student teaches a topic to three or four students assigned to him/her. This method is beneficial and engaging during the revisions after a topic or a module.

We also utilize virtual lab facility which is an initiative of Ministry of Education under the National Mission on education through ICT. These simulation-based labs facilitate the students to test and understand the experiments at their own pace and convenient time.
