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:

No.	PLO	Statement

3.	Design/Development of Solutions	An ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate considerations for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4.	Investigation	Conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
5.	Tool Usage	Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations
6.	The Engineer and the World	Analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment while solving complex engineering problems.
7.	Ethics	Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.
8.	Individual and Collaborative Team Work	Function effectively as an individual, and as a member of a leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote, and distributed settings.
9.	Communication	Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, and make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
10.	Project Management and Finance	Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management and principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
11.	Lifelong Learning	Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and lifelong learning, ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies, and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.
