NITC is located subsection hopes to grow further in terms of membership and activities. IEEE has been about 22 kilometers east of Calicut city of Kerala pioneering the areas of ‘Smart Grid Engineering’ State and offers a placid environment for learning along with Humanitarian Technology Challenges and research. (HTC) in recent times. The proposed work shop on “Smart Grid Engineering” is the first of a series of NITC has eleven departments, six centers and 29‐30 July, 2011 major programs being planned this year on major three schools offering ten undergraduate, twenty- NIT CALICUT areas of interest to members of IEEE and four postgraduate programmes apart from Ph. D. professionals interested. We hope that the The institute has good infrastructure in computing, workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for information technology, laboratories and central professional to interact with experts in this area library including digital library. It is the hometown Organized and acquire some cutting edge skills required to excel in this important area of Electrical of institutions of national importance including By Engineering.
