Department of Electronics & Power Engineering

The Electrical Engineering (EE) curriculum encompasses a broad background in the analysis and synthesis of electrical and electronic circuits and devices, in the mathematical tools necessary for signal processing, and in the design and analysis of modern electrical systems. At PNEC, students obtain an extensive insight into electrical engineering through courses and laboratory experience that include understanding contemporary issues that have global and societal impact. In addition, Electrical Engineering students have the opportunity to participate in major engineering design experiences that are offered through formalized courses, engineering extracurricular activities and research with faculty.
“BE Electrical Program is PEC (Pakistan Engineering council) accredited at OBE Level-II from Intake Batch 2014 up to 2020”

The department has the following Program Educational Objectives:

Few (Two to Three) years after graduation, the students are expected to demonstrate their ability:
PEO-1 To demonstrate knowledge of Electrical Engineering and allied disciplines to analyse, investigate, design, and develop viable solutions to contemporary engineering problems in a multidisciplinary work environment

PEO-2

 

To collaborate and contribute in socio-economic project development and exploit domain-based knowledge of using modern hardware, software, and statistical tools to evaluate and devise sustainable solutions to emerging engineering problems, with due regard to environmental and societal concerns.
PEO-3 To demonstrate professional qualities, work ethics, continuous enhancement of knowledge & skills, good verbal & writing skills, and ability to excel individually and collectively in their professional career.

The graduating attributes (GAs), as defined by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), have also been adopted by the department in its B.E Electrical Program as the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). These are:
