COURSES OF STUDY<br />
The Electrical <strong>Engineering</strong> curriculum develops a thorough<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the physical <strong>and</strong> mathematical principles<br />
underlying basic electrical processes <strong>and</strong> devices <strong>and</strong> provides<br />
students with a foundation in basic science, mathematics<br />
<strong>and</strong> the humanities. Written <strong>and</strong> oral communication<br />
skills are emphasized <strong>and</strong> developed. The computer as a<br />
tool for mathematical analysis, design, data analysis <strong>and</strong><br />
instrumentation is expensively used.<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> the courses have an integrated laboratory component<br />
which is supported by modern laboratories <strong>and</strong> state-<strong>of</strong>-theart<br />
equipment <strong>and</strong> computers. Strong emphasis is placed on<br />
“h<strong>and</strong>s-on” experience. Laboratory projects are encouraged in<br />
second <strong>and</strong> third years whereas final year projects are assigned<br />
keeping in view the industrial problems <strong>and</strong> in most <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cases in consultation with industrial experts. The campus is<br />
located in an industrial environment <strong>and</strong> the students have a<br />
fair chance <strong>of</strong> industrial visits.<br />
The courses in Electrical <strong>Engineering</strong> include core <strong>and</strong> elective<br />
courses. The Elective Courses are included in the program to<br />
provide more breadth to the knowledge. In 3rd <strong>and</strong> 4th years,<br />
the students can register for the Elective Courses according<br />
to their interests. Our degree is highly regarded by industry<br />
<strong>and</strong> independent assessors. The course is accredited by the<br />
Pakistan <strong>Engineering</strong> Council as satisfying the academic<br />
requirements for Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Engineer (PE) status.<br />
POSTGRADUATE STUDIES & RESEARCH<br />
The department started its postgraduate program in 1984 <strong>and</strong><br />
doctoral study program in 2001. Until now 230 MSc <strong>and</strong> 18<br />
PhDs have been produced. The postgraduate program <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
a degree in “Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Electrical <strong>Engineering</strong>” with<br />
specializations in<br />
Control<br />
Digital Techniques<br />
Electronics<br />
Power<br />
The master degree courses are aimed at bringing the students<br />
abreast with the most recent developments in their fields <strong>of</strong><br />
specialization. These courses are <strong>of</strong>fered both for the part time<br />
as well as the full-time students. At present more than 90%<br />
students are enrolled in the part-time program. Most <strong>of</strong> these<br />
students are working with major engineering organizations <strong>of</strong><br />
the country.<br />
Research work being carried out at the department has<br />
direct bearing on the needs <strong>of</strong> national industry. This<br />
research is partially funded by the Directorate <strong>of</strong> Advanced<br />
Studies, Research <strong>and</strong> Technological Development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>and</strong> Higher Education Commission. Projects, to<br />
meet the requirements <strong>of</strong> the neighboring industries are<br />
also conducted in the department. The faculty members <strong>and</strong><br />
postgraduate students have published a significant numbers<br />
<strong>of</strong> research papers in different fields <strong>of</strong> Electrical <strong>Engineering</strong>.<br />
The department also arranges conferences, seminars <strong>and</strong><br />
workshops in various areas <strong>of</strong> Electrical <strong>Engineering</strong>. The<br />
faculty members, postgraduate students <strong>and</strong> prominent<br />
researchers from home <strong>and</strong> abroad participate in these<br />
seminars. The department has a well-stocked <strong>and</strong> up to date<br />
library for use <strong>of</strong> the teachers <strong>and</strong> postgraduate students<br />
