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