The Core Electrical Engineering
One of the challenges in unifying the electrical engineering program is the identification of the courses that form the core of the electrical engineering discipline. The major issue in the identification is that the core electrical engineering courses must provide a solid foundation for various specialized engineering streams in addition to the basic engineering requirement. Specifically, electrical engineers must have analytical skills coupled with the strong domain knowledge. We have dissected the domain knowledge requirement into two parts. One part deals with the specialized streams domain knowledge and other is concerned with the basic engineering domain knowledge. The first part is implemented with the introduction of some specialized courses. The second part not only feeds all the specialized streams but also at the same time forms a strong background core.
Academic Programs Offered for Admissions
Following Programs are being offered to prospective students: 1. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering: BS (CE) Computer Engineering is one of the most versatile disciplines of engineering. It can broadly be described as an amalgam of electronics engineering, with major emphasis on digital electronics, computer architecture and interfacing, and computer science. The ratio of electronics and computer science courses in this discipline vary from university to university. In our degree program we have apportioned 70% for electronics and 30% for computer science. In recent times, the number of computer engineers employed by the industry involved in ASIC design or custom processor design is gradually on the rise. 2. Bachelor of Science in Electrical (Telecommunication) Engineering: BS(TE) This discipline has existed in many universities for a very long time. Its popularity as an undergraduate engineering specialization is, however, quite recent. It is observed that although undergraduate specialization in telecommunication engineering is marketed with great fanfare, many universities offer only a few specialized courses in this area. With the advances in digital communication and a rapid growth in Information Technology and Telecommunication sector, a new industrial base has sprung up which requires engineers with more specialized skills in this area. This new industrial base includes the traditional wired communication companies, mobile and cellular companies, wireless local loop operators, and cable and broadband communication companies. Keeping in mind the demands of this new industrial base, the degree includes latest digital technologies as well as traditional communication techniques. For the graduates to have deeper understanding and appreciation for all or some of the above-mentioned industries further sub-specializations should be offered as an elective. The sub-specialization options may include optical communication systems, wireless communication systems and radar, navigational aids, radio and television technologies. 3. Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering: BS (ElE) Electronics engineering is the backbone of almost all technologies today. It is one of the oldest disciplines of Electrical Engineering. Electronics engineers have a broad spectrum of knowledge base. This allows them to work in areas ranging from maintenance, management, design, and reverse engineering. 4. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Power Engineering: BS (EPE) At present, more than eighty places are offered to students in the program of Electrical Power Engineering. It is estimated by studies conducted in the field that in the next five to ten years the scarcity of power engineers will reach a critical stage. In many countries including the developed countries the shortage of power engineers is felt acutely. With this scenario in mind and the inevitable addition of more power houses to be set up in Pakistan, we feel that there is greater and urgent need for offering electrical power engineering as an undergraduate degree program.
