Sree Sowdambika College of Engineering - [SSCE], Virudhunagar

Sree Sowdambika College of Engineering established in 2000 is an educational Institution promoted by the philanthrophic “Chockalingapuram Devangar Varthagar Sangam”, founded in 1919 by our prophetic forefathers. Understanding the need for higher education, the trust started Sri Sowdambika Polytechnic College in 1984-1985 and Sri Sowdambika Convent Matriculation School in 1986-1987.

• Sree Sowdambika College of Engineering is approved by AICTE and affiliated to Anna University.
• Innovative teaching and special coaching methodologies to increase the results.
• Placement training to face the changing and challenging demands of the industries.
• Providing state of art facility in par with the technological development of its faculty and infrastructure.
• Congenial environment that remains effective, efficient and suitable for all academic and related activities.

SSCE Students Creations:

• HHPG - Highway Hybrid Power Generation: This project is for the generation of electricity by a hybrid technique which involves the conversion of mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy by using a wind turbine generator on the other side highways and the generation of electric power response to the applied mechanical stress under busy high way roads using piezo electric materials , piezo electric crystal utilizes the force of vehicle and producing small amount of power, when we place this hybrid generating system with regular interval we obtain a huge(high) amount of energy from this system. This project can give a very good solution to the global energy and environmental crisis.
• Vibration into Electrical Energy:  A system is proposed to convert ambient mechanical vibration into electrical energy for use in powering autonomous low power electronic system. The energy is transduced through the use of a comparator. Using micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology such a device has been designed for the system.
• Boost Converter:  Step-up switching converters, also called boost switching regulators. DC-DC converter provide a high voltage output then the input voltage, The MOSFET can be used as the switching device in this converter. The input gate pulses can be given to the MOSFET from the microcontroller. The bridge converter can be used to AC-DC in this system. The step-down transformer output can be given to the bridge converter.
