Programs
Workshops and outreach, curricular lab courses, internships and lab MOOCs.
WEL serves as the hub of electronics activity for students at IIT Bombay. Other than curricular lab courses, events at WEL include workshops and outreach, MOOCs, and co-curricular and extracurricular student projects and internships.
400+ colleges, 2,000+ teachers and students
The WEL brand has reached more than 400 colleges across India thanks to workshops conducted over the years, with more than 2,000 teachers and students trained on hardware and lab content developed in WEL.
WEL continues this tradition and offers workshops in partnership with NPTEL, which certifies students on successful completion of summer workshops. Workshops offered through other entities at IIT Bombay (QIP, TiH-IoT) also use WEL premises. Recently WEL has been part of alumni outreach activities through the EE Alumni and Corporate Engagement (ACE) cell.
10+ courses, 1,700+ students a year
Most of the hardware required for conducting these courses has been designed and manufactured at WEL. Tutorials, resources and user manuals made by WEL staff and research assistants are used to offer students an engaging learning experience.
Internships
WEL has hosted several students for internships and project positions over the years. Our interns have contributed to hardware development, research assistantship, software modules and resources, and day-to-day lab activities. WEL has served as a launchpad for young graduates who leveraged their training here to obtain prestigious fellowships for higher studies and rewarding industry positions.
Lab MOOCs
Massive open online courses help students access repositories of knowledge not constrained by location, at their own pace. MOOC-style courses are typically aimed at theoretical concepts, while comparatively little effort has gone into practicum courses. WEL has developed expertise in conducting online lab courses and offering MOOCs on a variety of lab subjects.
