Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering
Program Overview:
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program was started in Fall 2002 as one of the legacy programs at COMSATS University Islamabad. The Electrical Engineering program at COMSATS University is designed to provide students core knowledge and skills in Electrical Engineering followed by specialization in the five streams including Power, Telecommunications, Electronics, Computer and Control.
The Electrical Engineering program nurtures its graduates to be competent in professional practice and fulfill the technological needs of society in an ethical, moral, and socially responsible manner. Moreover, the students are trained to communicate effectively and show management and entrepreneurial potential. The students are engaged in life-long learning to continually enhance personal and professional capabilities.
The curriculum, labs, workshops, and industrial placements equip the students with the latest tools and techniques relevant to national and international industry. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has an active industrial advisory board which continually provides feedback on our curriculum in relevance to the current industrial requirements.
