It is a great pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of the Department of Electrical Engineering at COMSATS. We strive to open the minds of students to knowledge and enable them to take the best advantage of the educational facilities here. COMSATS has a strong history of providing quality, career-oriented education. We are committed for Quality Education, Productive Research and Service to the Humanity. Choosing to study at COMSATS will help you to make the most of your potential. The department wishes all the students a successful, long-lived, engineering-based career path. Department of Electrical Engineering was initially established as the Computer Engineering Department in March 2002 offering the BS Computer Engineering Program. The department offered BS Telecommunications Engineering in Spring 2004. Thereafter, name of the department was changed to Electrical Engineering Department during Fall 2004. The Department of Electrical Engineering at CIIT Lahore caters to all the requirements of the current technological innovations. The faculty is poised to turn the department into a centre of excellence while incorporating the specializations of Wireless Systems, Electronics, Control Systems, Signal Processing, Data Communications, VLSI, Photonics, Optical Communication and Image Processing. The department, team of 57 faculty members, commits itself and all its resources to achieve the glory that is the aim of COMSATS and keep the flag of CIIT Lahore up amongst the engineering institutions of stature and grandeur. It is envisioned to strengthen the quality of its faculty, research and teaching facilities, as well as students academic performance. Electrical engineering has gone from the simple electrical circuits of Edison and Tesla, through the rocket science of Bode, Evans and Nyquist, to the complexity of integrated circuits and optoelectronics. Basic telecommunications technologies that began with Bell have blossomed into global networks with satellites, fiber optics and the Internet. Computer technology has grown exponentially and touches all of our lives with processors embedded into a vast array of devices that secure our safety and add an unprecedented measure of convenience to our lives. Electrical power systems illuminate our planet and drive our industries. As this progress conveys us into the future with new and exciting engineering challenges, CIITs Electrical Engineers will be ready to meet those challenges.

This is our singular vision and we take great pride in the contributions that our graduates have made and will make to electrical engineering, now and in the future. EE department provides strategic support for skills development at undergraduate and graduate levels, consultancy for academic staff, workshops for staff and students, and a wide variety of resources and support for personal development planning. The Department has its IEEE Chapter, the highest forum of research for EE Engineers. Student membership to IEEE is available from our chapter. Also Department regularly holds different Exhibitions, conferences & seminars. Department of Electrical Engineering also provides recognized Cisco Certified trainings (CCNA, CCNP etc). The Department of Electrical Engineering, CIIT Lahore has focused all it's energies in achieving the ultimate target of World Ranking. Different measures are in progress to achieve this target and one of the measures is by Quality Teaching and Research Productivity. To improve research productivity a number of research groups, headed by the senior PhD faculty and having about 10 faculty members in each group, have been formed at the Department of Electrical Engineering. This evolving research environment attracts and retains high-performing staff at department.

Department of Electrical Engineering is currently offering following undergraduate Programs:

• BS Electrical (Computer) Engineering
• BS Electrical (Telecommunications) Engineering

Both of the Engineering Degrees are recognized from the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). The Department is also offering Graduate program :

• MS/PhD (Electrical Engineering)

Each program reflects an updated spectrum of modern aspects of engineering. Our curriculum is unique that enables our students to learn techniques and cerebration required to solve complex engineering problems and equip them with managerial and professional skills as well. Proper engineering design is not only intensive but also creative and it is one of the major economical benefactors for the development of any country. Apart from academic activities an effort to inculcate moral codes to all students also comes in the objectives of the Department, so that they can contribute much more effectively in the society.

Brief Introduction of Programs:-

BS Electrical (Telecommunications) Engineering

This discipline has existed in many universities for a very long time. Its popularity as an undergraduate engineering specialization is, however, quite recent. it is observed that although undergraduate specialization in telecommunication engineering is marketed with great fanfare, many universities offer only a few specialized courses in this area. With the advancement of digital communication and a rapid growth in information technology and telecommunication sector, a new industrial base has sprung up which requires engineers with more specialized skills in this area. This new industry base includes the traditional wired communication companies, mobile and cellular companies, wired local loop operators, and cable and broadband communication companies Keep in mind demand of this new industry base, the degree includes latest digital technologies as well as traditional communication techniques. For the graduates to have deeper understanding and appreciation for all or some of the above mentioned industries further sub-specializations should be offered as electives. The sub- specializations options may includes optical communication systems, wireless communication systems and radar, navigational aids and television technologies. (More) 

BS Electrical (Computer) Engineering

Computer engineering in one of the most versatile discipline of engineering. It can broadly be descrambled as an amalgam of electronics engineering, with major emphasis on digital electronics, computer architecture and interfacing, and computer science. The ratio of electronic and computer science courses in this disciple vary from university to university. In our degree program we have apportioned 70% for electronics and 30% for computer science. In recent times, the number if computer engineers employed by the industry involved in ASIC design or custom processor design is gradually on rise. (More)

MS/PhD (Electrical Engineering)

The MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering program provides advanced education and research to develop knowledge & expertise in engineering of telecommunication networks and systems. Strong emphasis is placed on the areas of mobile wireless communications, communication signal processing, broadband computer networks, RF/microwave engineering, optical communications, and embedded electronic system design. Specialized state-of-the-art laboratories and computer facilities are available in the above areas. (More)
