Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program started in Fall 2007. The Electrical Engineering program at COMSATS University is designed to provide students with core knowledge and skills in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Power, Telecommunications, Electronics, Computer and Controls.

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.

Process for Admission and Admission Criteria

Progressive development up the ladder of knowledge in an engineering program hugely depends upon quality of students at induction stage. CUI not only ensures the minimum criterion laid down by PEC but also requires candidates to appear in competitive exams to ensure equality among country wide student base. National Testing Service (NTS) entry test is given due to weightage apart from past academic records while determining merit for admission in bachelor of science in electrical engineering. Admission to Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering is determined by admission office based on open merit.

Admission Criteria and Response

As per the PEC criteria it is mandatory that candidate must have 60% marks in F.Sc. (Pre- Engineering) / equivalent qualification and must qualify the entry test for admission in engineering programs. Details of admission criteria implemented in CUI under the guidelines of PEC are as under:

1. NTS Test 50%
2. HSSC/A Level / DAE (relevant field) 40%
3. Matriculation/O-Level 10%

Curriculum Overview

The core courses are designed to develop complex engineering problem solving skills of students in the areas of power, signal processing and communications, embedded systems, IoT, software programming, digital system design, control and automation, AI and machine learning.

The students also take courses in humanities, management and social sciences to enhance their soft skills. In the final year of studies, the students are required to complete a capstone project in which they demonstrate their knowledge and skills gained during the course the program. The students are cognizant of the UN SDGs and are required to target a set of SDGs in their final year project.
