In the modern-days, development of a country mainly depends on the development of the industries. The development of these sectors significantly depends on the standard of technical education nurtured by the universities and the technical institutes of the country. It is observed that most of the developed countries maintain a strong relationship between the universities and the industries. It is believed that the universities are the gateway of new technologies.
Universities develop new technologies and by co-operating with industries they implement these technologies to raise the standard and effectiveness of the industry. Universities take the responsibilities to provide technical human resources for the industries of any country.
Electrical & Computer Engineering has been serving the country and also advanced the University’s reputation. It has trained a significant number of ElectricalEngineers in the country who are playing key roles in the various sectors of development in the country. The core strategy of the Program is to pursue its vision and mission to enhance its research, linkage with industry, academic and scholarly activities and become a center of excellence for its programs, thereby improving its eminence in national and international rankings.
Program Description
Electrical & Computer Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity, especially the design and application of electronic circuits, equipment for power generation and distribution, machine control, and communications and computer hardware and software.
The Electrical & Computer Engineering Program aspires to excel in teaching, research, and industry linkage/consultancy at a national level as well as regionally and also in producing competent engineers within the field of electrical, electronic, and computer engineering to solve the problem of our country andbring about growth.
Taking into consideration the requirements of modern industries the program has realized that there is a need to implement the following four specializations (streams) in the present undergraduate electrical and computer engineering course: Communication Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Industrial Control Engineering.
Rationale, Objectives, Outcome of the Program
Program Rationale
The basic rationale for the program is the prevailing conditions in the Country withrespect to the needs for professionals in this area and the future trends that are developing in the demands for the profession. The Program has been keenly following the developments in this regard both within the Country and internationally and the following provide some of the major facts and observations on which these programs premised.
Objectives
To train high level technical manpower, who carry out research in the areas of
Electrical Engineering and render consultancy services to the community, in the national development activities.
Program Outcome
A Professional Electrical Engineer is competent by virtue of his/her fundamental education and training to apply the scientific method and outlook to the solution of problems and to assume personal responsibility for the development and application of engineering science and
techniques especially in designing, manufacturing, superintending, research, and managing.
