is providing the inimitable podium for the

professionals in the industry to unfold remarks on a

highly clamant issue which has a connection with the

power sector of Sri Lanka. A panel of professionals

examines and exchange views on a matter

impartially to deliver explanations and solutions to

the undergraduates, graduates, professionals and

the general public.

EESoc Annual General Meeting– 2018

Power system of a country is a broader aspect where

whole country is benefited with. In order to

knowledge up the future personals whom to vest the

responsibility of country’s power system a guest

lecture was held on 22nd of February 2018 at the

Seminar Room, Department of Electrical engineering.

The workshop was conducted by two engineers from

Ceylon Electricity board, Dr. H.M. Wijeekoon Banda,

Chief Engineer (Transmission Planning) and Mr.

M.B.S. Samarasekara, Chief Engineer (Generation

Planning).

The main concern of the lecture was to handover

knowledge about the current status and future

commitments of Sri Lankan power system.

Mr. M.B.S. Samarasekara explained about present

status of Sri Lankan power generation, proposed

capacity additions to the generation network,

environment aspects on power generation and

commitments from CEB, comparison of energy mixes

of the other countries and Sri Lanka.

Dr. H.M. Wijeekoon Banda explained about present

transmission network and its development, future

transmission investment commitments, HVDC link

between India and Sri Lanka.

The guest lecture was successfully held for about two

hours with the interaction of academic staff and

undergraduates.

On “We Are with You” day UoM students spent the

day with children in Ceylon School for Deaf and blind

in Rathmalana and for the communication it is

necessary to have a basic understanding about the

sign language. Sign Language is the mother tongue of

deaf people.

Therefore Electrical Engineering Society organized

the sign language workshop for the 5th consecutive

time on 19th February 2018 from 3.15pm onwards at

Department Final Year Classroom. The Classroom

was full of participants and it shows their willingness

to share their kind hearts with those differently

abled students.

EESoc is extremely grateful for Mr Rajitha Hewage

for conducting the workshop by dedicating his

valuable time for electrical engineering

undergraduates. At the end of the session a token of

appreciation was given to Mr Rajitha in valuing his

presence for the occasion.

The participants were keen on answering the questions with their maximum effort. It was a pleasure for everybody to see how these students had enhanced their wisdom via their education and day-today activities.

The quiz was followed by a drama and a dance presented by the students of the school. That fascinating drama and colourful dance reminded everybody that these students are actually really talented students with multi skills.

After the welcome ceremony children were directed to the university ground for the outdoor session.

Every year, the ‘We Are With You’ program is conducted with a different theme which steals the minds of the students. Hence, the theme ‘Red Indians’ were proposed for this year. All the decorations had been done under this theme. Red Indian huts, conflagrations were made all over the place delivering the feeling of a Red Indian village.

Some undergraduates dressed up like Red Indian people. Children loved all those characters who were roaming around filling them with joy. They were interested in taking photographs with their lovable characters. Various games were organized in different places of the gaming zone letting the students participate in whatever the games they preferred. Targeting games, water games were some of their favourites. Winners were awarded with delicious chocolates at the instant. It was very enjoyable for the children as well as the electrical undergraduates and lecturers who participated in games.
