IET Bhaddal Technical Campus, Ropar, organized a special industrial visit to Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Plant, Ropar, for students pursuing B.Tech. and Diploma courses from the Departments of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The primary objective of the visit was to provide students with an opportunity to understand the theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom from an industrial and practical perspective and to familiarize them with actual industrial working processes. On this occasion, Vishal Arora, Dean Academics, stated that industrial visits are an important component of the modern education system. Such visits provide students with an opportunity to closely understand the industrial environment, technical processes, working methodologies, safety standards and coordination among different departments. He added that practical industrial exposure, along with classroom knowledge, strengthens students’ technical understanding and problem-solving abilities. During the visit, Er. Jaswant Kaur, Assistant Engineer, provided the students with detailed information about the functioning of a thermal power plant. The students were introduced to the process of thermal power generation, boiler operation, steam generation, turbine systems, generators, condensers, and other important technical equipment used in the plant. In addition, the students gained practical insights into various processes associated with power generation and observed the real-world industrial application of engineering principles. Dr. S.S. Bindra, Director Campus, said that industrial visits play a significant role in making students’ education more practical and effective. He stated that when students observe the functioning of an industry or power plant firsthand, they are better able to understand the connection between theoretical and practical knowledge. He further emphasized that such activities not only enhance industrial awareness among students but also help prepare them for future employment opportunities and career challenges. On this occasion, Dr. Gurpreet Singh, Group Director (Academics), appreciated the industrial visit organized by the Departments of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. He said that connecting students with industries is the need of the hour and that such visits make a valuable contribution towards enhancing their technical knowledge, confidence and understanding of the industrial environment.
