Electrical engineering is one of the largest and most diverse technological and engineering disciplines in today’s world. Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism for the development and maintenance of electrical and electronics equipment such as electric motors, navigation systems, medical devices, broadcast and communication systems, power generation systems, electrical distribution systems, electric grids etc., while keeping in mind the safety, quality, economic feasibility and sustainability of these products and systems.
Based on the fundamentals of Physics and Mathematics, Electrical Engineering became a field of its own in the 19th century due to innovations such as the generator, motors, telephone, wireless communications and electronics. Since then, electrical engineering has sure come a long way. Not only has it been one of the major driving forces behind cutting edge technology in areas such as power engineering, computer engineering, communications and mobile technologies, it has also significantly impacted several other fields such as nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, neuroscience and biotechnology, to name a few. Electrical engineering students use science, engineering, technology and analytical reasoning, creative and critical thinking skills to solve problems and design, construct and maintain electrical and electronics products.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
First year of engineering will cover basic science courses such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and an overview to other engineering disciplines such as basic mechanical engineering, basic civil engineering, electronics, introduction to computers etc.
Second and third year will expose students to core subjects in electrical engineering. For Electrical Engineering students, core courses are power system analysis, motors, transformers, control systems, high voltage engineering, power electronics, power system economics and control techniques, power system protection and switchgear and utilization of electrical energy. There will also be elective subjects where students can choose courses that they are interested in specializing further in. Fourth Year will be an Internship in blue chip & multinational companies.
