Electrical Engineering is an enormously vibrant field. From its inception in 20th century, electrical engineering has become the defining technology of our age. From electricity generation to its distribution and usage in industry relating to automation, home appliances, computers, telecommunications that have their basics in electronics are integral to modern culture and are the primary engines behind much of the world’s economic growth. The field, moreover, continues to evolve at an astonishing pace with introduction of new technologies and making the existing ones become obsolete.

CIIT Lahore offers number of specialized Electrical Engineering tracks corresponding to areas of computer engineering and telecommunication engineering. Building on the broad scientific foundation provided by the core curriculum and fundamental courses in electronics, electric circuits, electromagnetic theory, mathematics, linear systems, analogue, and digital design, these specialized areas focus on a range of upper level courses to bear on a particular specialty. The Dual Degrees On completion, the students will be awarded with two degrees:

1. B. Eng (Hons) Communication Systems with Electronics from LU
2. BS Electrical (Telecommunication) Engineering from CIIT with transcript

The BS degree in Electrical (Telecommunication) Engineering is recognized by Pakistan Engineering Council, whereas the B.Eng. (Hons) degree in Communication Systems with Electronics is accredited by Institute of Engineering and Technology, UK.

The Engineering curriculum takes a rigorous mathematical approach to Engineering and problem solving in the setting of a world-class educational environment. The department provides a close student-faculty interaction and provides enough support to wide variety of leading-edge research into which undergraduates/graduates are involved. There is a wide variety of areas to satiate any student's appetite to learn.

The DDP has been launched with a view to preparing the students to face the challenging environment of competitive world as a member of professional competitive team.

This programme is a major step forward in enhancement of educational standards of the country. For this programme, the department comprises a world class, mostly foreign qualified faculty with specialization in diverse fields such as communication, electronics, automation, semiconductors etc. with extensive market and industry experience.

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Communication and Electronics is in line with the urgent demand for engineers with basic and advanced skills in design of modern communication systems of current Internet age. This urgency is further increased with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in almost every sphere of life. This programme is an integration of electrical engineering, electronics engineering and computer systems engineering enabling the students to acquire knowledge and skills essential for meeting today’s challenges. The students are exposed to very strong electrical and electronics engineering fundamentals in first three years and in the last year of study, they are equipped with the latest specialized telecommunication subjects.

Recognizing the great breadth of careers in communications engineering sector, the programme will firmly provide basic essentials before concentrating more closely on the specialist area of student’s choice. It would be an excellent preparation for a versatile specialized career in communication system. The graduates of this degree programme will have numerous openings for them in diverse fields like mobiles application satellite, internet, databases, etc. While pursuing their career objectives, the students will have excellent opportunity to contribute towards national growth and development.

The objectives of this programme are to prepare the students to:

1. Secure competitive positions or entry into programmes of advanced study in the areas of communication systems and electronics.
2. Continue to develop professionally through both practical experience and life-long learning.
3. Communicate and lead effectively.
4. Practice the highest standards of integrity, ethical conduct and social responsibility.

• Acquire and apply knowledge of Mathematics, Science and Engineering.

During the course of study, students also take courses in humanities, management and social sciences to develop well rounded personalities.

In the final year students are also required to complete a design or research project in which they apply the knowledge and skills gained during the course of this engineering programme. The students submit a written report, demonstrate their design or research effort and defend their project before a jury for award of grades.

As the requirements of this programme, the students are also required to undergo industrial training for ten weeks either in private or government sector during the final year. This is to equip students with practical/technical knowledge while exposing them to real-life working environment in an organisation.
