student club

Electrical Club at NCE

Electrical Club at NCE serves as the primary student-led body dedicated to extracurricular and technical development for electrical engineering students. It bridges the gap between the formal IOE curriculum and the practical, rapidly evolving energy industry in Nepal.

Core Objectives & Activities

The club focuses on fostering a community where students can experiment beyond the classroom. Their main activities include:

  • Technical Workshops: Hands-on training on industry-standard tools like MATLAB, AutoCAD (Electrical), and PLC programming.
  • Skill Development: Organizing sessions on house wiring, transformer maintenance, and basic electronics repair to provide job-ready skills.
  • “Energetic” Events: Hosting technical fests, including electrical-themed quizzes, project exhibitions, and circuit design competitions.

Field Visit Coordination

While the department handles formal visits, the club often facilitates informal site visits to local substations and hydropower plants to give juniors practical industry exposure.
