Department of Electrical Engineering
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering
Introduction
The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Electrical Engineering at Gomal University is a rigorous and future-focused undergraduate program designed to produce technically competent, ethically grounded, and innovation-driven engineers. The program is housed within the Department of Electrical Engineering, a key academic unit of the Faculty of Engineering & Technology, and reflects the university’s commitment to excellence in engineering education and research.
The program was first launched in 2011 as BSc Electrical (Telecommunication) Engineering, responding to the growing demand for skilled professionals in the rapidly expanding telecom sector. In 2022, the program was broadened and renamed to BSc Electrical Engineering to reflect the evolving technological landscape better and to encompass a wider spectrum of specialization areas within electrical engineering, including power and communication.
Since its commencement, the program has been accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), ensuring compliance with national academic and professional standards. Importantly, starting from the 2017 intake, the program has been accredited under Level-II of PEC’s Outcome-Based Education (OBE) system, aligning it with international best practices in engineering education and enhancing global mobility for graduates.
The curriculum is designed to blend strong theoretical foundations with practical experience through modern laboratories, industry-linked projects, and technical training. Students are prepared not only to meet current engineering challenges but also to lead technological innovation in a dynamic and competitive global environment.
The BSc Electrical Engineering program at Gomal University is ideal for students seeking a comprehensive education in electrical engineering with a commitment to academic excellence, professional development, and societal impact.
