Career Prospects:
The bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is one of the most sought after degrees in the current era of information, automation, instrumentation and control. Bright career prospects await graduates of this program because Pakistan has an acute shortage of professional engineers who can develop embedded instrumentation and control systems for the industry. An important aim of the electrical engineering degree program is to inculcate entrepreneurial zeal in its graduates, in collaboration with GIFT Business School, so that they strive to start their own companies and create jobs, instead of becoming a work force requiring directions from above to perform their duties.
Program Description:
BS Electrical Engineering program at GIFT is based on the curriculum approved by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). The coursework is designed to help the freshmen students strengthen their fundamental concepts of essential mathematics and physics to be applied in advanced electrical engineering courses. Introduction to various specialized areas in electrical engineering is made through breadth courses in the second year and the first half of the third year. In the second half of the third year and the final year, students study an array of advanced specialization courses to strengthen advanced concepts in the areas of their choice. GIFT Electrical Engineering program is specially designed to cater to the current global and local industry demands with a special emphasis on industrial electronics and embedded systems.
The study plan is in full compliance with the electronic engineering stream of the electrical engineering curriculum, approved by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
Students are prepared for the highly competitive job market through courses in communication skills, engineering management and engineering economics, enabling them to handle challenging work environments professionally. These and social science elective courses are included in the curriculum to help students enhance their soft skills and develop well-groomed personalities.
GIFT University offers the advantage of supporting this HEC/PEC approved curriculum by well-equipped engineering and computing laboratories under the supervision of highly qualified faculty. Currently the department of Electrical Engineering has five well-equipped laboratories: Circuits & Electronics Laboratory, Digital Systems Laboratory, Instrumentation & Control Laboratory, Senior Design Project Laboratory and Engineering Workshop. The equipment available in these laboratories is used by students in their term projects and by faculty in their research projects. Students are assigned term projects in several courses of the degree program. Furthermore, students work in these laboratories to design and assemble their electronic gadgets for competing in various national engineering projects competitions.
Program Objectives:
As electricity is the lifeline of all kinds of businesses and other activities in the modern world, Electrical Engineering is therefore one of the most important professional degrees. Through this program we aspire to produce graduates who can successfully analyse, design, and test electrical and electronic systems. The students of this program will acquire knowledge and expertise suitable for their professional area of practice in electrical engineering and postgraduate studies and pursue lifelong learning. The vision of the program is to produce graduates who are not only technically competent, but also communicate effectively and professionally, as well as become a productive member of a team, assume leadership and entrepreneurial roles, contribute in professional, civic service, foster community and global responsibility considering health, safety, ethical and environmental issues.
Admissions/Eligibility Criteria:
The following two requirements must be fulfilled for admission application to be accepted:
- At least 60% marks in Matriculation or an equivalent examination.
- At least 60% marks in HSSC (Pre-Engineering) or an equivalent examination.
- Applicants fulfilling the above two requirements take GIFT University admission test. Selection is based on merit determined by Matric / FSc marks and performance in the admission test. Candidates awaiting result, if selected, are offered provisional admission, subject to passing the examination with the required score.
- Relevant level NTS test is also acceptable for admissions.
