Successful Completion of Five-Day Workshop on “Experimental Study on Electric Vehicle Drivetrain Using MATLAB-Based Motor Controller and Battery Management System” ⚙️🚗

The Department of Electrical Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology, Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), Awantipora, successfully organized and concluded a five-day hands-on workshop from 9th to 15th October 2026, focusing on Electric Vehicle (EV) drivetrain modeling, simulation, and experimental analysis.

The workshop provided students, researchers, and faculty with practical exposure to EV systems, integrating MATLAB/Simulink-based motor control, Battery Management Systems (BMS), and real-time data acquisition techniques, bridging the gap between theory and industry applications.
With the launch of the M.Tech program in Electric Vehicle Technology (EVT), this workshop provided the very first batch of students an exciting hands-on introduction to EV systems and practical industry exposure.

Workshop Highlights:
• Comprehensive sessions on EV drivetrain architecture, BLDC/PMSM motor control, and battery technologies.
• Hands-on MATLAB/Simulink training for FOC and DTC-based motor control strategies.
• Practical demonstrations on motor controller configuration, communication interfaces, and data logging systems.
• Industrial visits to TATA Technologies and CIIT Baramulla, connecting theoretical learning with real-world EV applications.
• Expert talks and interactive sessions led by academicians and industry professionals, enriching participants’ understanding of emerging EV technologies.

This workshop offered participants an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with advanced EV drivetrain technologies, understand battery and motor integration, and explore innovative solutions shaping the future of electric mobility.
A special thanks to all resource persons, participants, organizing members, and coordinators for making this event a resounding success!

The Department of Electrical Engineering, as a part of the Industry Connect initiative, arranged an Industrial visit of Electrical Engineering students to the Northern Railways at Banihal. During the visit, the students observed the real-time operation of various electrical equipments in the tunnel control room managed through the advanced controlling systems of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). The hands-on exposure to these technologies enabled the students to grasp the complexities of industrial automation and the importance of precise control in railway operations.
A significant highlight of the visit was the tour inside one of the tunnels, where the students were introduced to the various safety and operational equipments installed. The exposure provided insight into the critical systems that ensure the smooth functioning and safety within the tunnel, such as ventilation systems, fire hydrant system, cabling infrastructure, portal substation and emergency communication setups. This experience emphasized the importance of maintaining stringent safety standards in such high-risk environment.
This industrial visit was a part of the ongoing efforts of the Department of Electrical Engineering, in collaboration with the Industry Connect Vertical of the Dean Outreach, to provide the practical exposure to the students beyond the realms of theoretical knowledge. The objective of these types of Industrial visits is to enrich the students and give them an overview of the advanced technologies adopted by the industry to meet the future challenges.
The Department of Electrical Engineering expressed their gratitude to Chief Area Manager along with the technical staff of Northern Railway Banihal for allowing and demonstrating the real-time operation and control of various equipments.
