1. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
Electrical and Electronic engineers are involved in channeling natural resources into various end-uses such as in heating, lighting, home appliances, consumer products, computing, sensing, control and communication systems. They contribute to the development of systems and devices for power, instrumentation, measurement, communication engineering, management, manufacturing, transportation, etc. They are primarily concerned with the processes of generation, transmission, transformation, control and utilization of energy and/or information. The curriculum exposes students to the breadth of electrical and electronics engineering and allows them to pursue electives in several areas including electrical circuits, electronics, electrical power systems, communication systems, signal processing, control systems, electromagnetics, optics and optical devices and computer engineering. Hence, the students are expected to take courses in the following areas:
