Engineering is a challenging, exciting and rewarding area of study. It is a rapidly advancing field that has a significant impact on shaping modern society. It is a creative process involving the design of systems, components, or processes to meet desired needs. Throughout our curriculum, students gain experience with both the fundamentals of design as well as realistic engineering problems. Creativity and design experience are introduced by means of open-ended problems, use of modern computer-aided tools, and laboratory work.

The department puts forth the following educational objectives for thestudents entering the Electrical Engineering programme:

1. A solid foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, and computer programming to ensures successful completion of the EE undergraduate programs, future professional growth with fact-based reasoning and analysis.

2. A broad engineering core competence which enables our students to communicate and interact effectively with engineers in different areas of specialisation and to make technology decisions with confidence. This includes developing in our undergraduates the ability to perform integrated problem solving from problem identification, to analysis, hypothesis testing, solution verification, and implementation.

3. Available faculty with in-depth knowledge and experience in Communication, Electronics Engineering, Computer System and Signal Processing to provide challenging environment to students to build knowledge and develop skills that incorporates engineering standards with realistic constraints, essential for preparation of their first job.

4. The Department of Electrical Engineering believes that optimistic, self-confidence and high degree of personal integrity should be the hallmark of the students passing out from here. An all-out effort both by the management and the faculty has always been in the focus to meet this end.

Degree Programmes

The Department follows the guidelines issued by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) for the award of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) & Bachelor of Science in Electronics & Communications degrees.

Presently the department is offering the following degree programmes:

a. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE)
b. Bachelor of Science in Electronics & Communications

Engineering degrees are accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), and fullfil the requirements set by the council.

Bachelor of Science in Electronics & Communications

Programme Description

At the University of Lahore, we believe that a student with personal interest and aptitude for engineering can be prepared in a short time of one semester for induction into the engineering programme. Thus, we have designed the programme “Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communication” (BSEC) to allow students to make the engineering career selection at a point of time when they have had a chance to discover their capabilities and career paths. The only requirement for joining this programme is 12 years of education (in any field), personal interest and aptitude for engineering. Understandably, this programme is not recognisable by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) because of the entrance requirements.

Preparatory Semester
Extensive courses in Physics and Mathematics to prepare for induction in BSEC programme. In addition English comprehension course may be required based on the test results. Minimum 145 credit hours earned as per programme structure.Eligibility Criteria
Intermediate or equivalent (any subject) with minimum 2nd division.

Degree Requirement
Prep-semester + 8 semesters
Minimum 145 credit hours earned as per programme structure.
