Department of Engineering

 

Introduction

TOP

 

The foundation of Department of Engineering was laid down back in year 2000 when Computer Technology and Communication Programme was started under the umbrella of CASP at Postgraduate Diploma level, which was upgraded to MSc Telecommunications programme in 2002. The programmes gained significant recognition and graduates are contributing a great deal to expanding computing and telecom industry. Recognizing the strong role of engineering education in the national economy, engineering discipline was strengthened in 2006, when a BSc Electronics and Telecom Engineering Programme was introduced in 2006. University crossed another landmark in offering quality engineering education after the interim visit of Pakistan Engineering Council in 2008 in which PEC allowed GCU Lahore to continue its engineering programme. On the recommendations of Pakistan Engineering Council, establishment of Faculty of Engineering was approved by the Syndicate in 2009 and the programmes were shifted from CASP to “Department of Engineering” under the umbrella of Faculty of Engineering. The Department currently offers BSc Electrical Engineering and MS Electrical Engineering.

 

Academic Programmes


BSc Electrical Engineering
MS Electrical Engineering with Specializations in:


1. Electronic Engineering
2. Control Engineering
3. Computer Engineering
4. Telecommunication Engineering

 

BSc Electrical Engineering

 

The four years BSc Electrical Engineering programme was initiated in 2006 to meet the demand for qualified and skilled personnel in industry. The area is vital for normal working and growth of Pakistan's economy where there is an acute shortage of competent and qualified manpower. In line with the tradition of GC University, this degree programme is run by well qualified and competent faculty and staff members. This programme is primarily intended for students who have just completed their Intermediate education and are aspiring to gain professional competence and qualifications in Electrical Engineering.

 

The objectives of this degree programme are:

  • To develop in depth understanding of both theory and practice.

  • To develop the ability to reason with the knowledge to apply it to new problems as they arise in industry and research.

  • To make students aware of the social, technical and economic issues as they relate to electronics and telecommunications.

  • To provide exposure to leading edge technologies as they develop in the current research.

  • To cater for both national and international standards and codes of practice.

MS Electrical Engineering (Evening) with Specializations

 

Embedded systems, robots and computer numerical controlled machines are rapidly replacing conventional domestic and industry equipment and appliances. Even a modern automobile has got built in microcontrollers for optimum control and fault diagnostics. The design and development of these applications require sound knowledge in areas like Mechatronics and Control Engineering, Computer Engineering and Electronic Engineering. The implementation of 3G wireless and broadband technologies which opened new horizons and has created the applications of telecom. in areas like security and surveillance, medicine and education world over, is still awaited in Pakistan. The primary reason for this loss apart from law and order situation is the comparatively higher cost of the projects because of unavailability of telecom, R&D sector in Pakistan. This deficiency can only be met with by producing professional telecom. engineers of high caliber in the country. Realizing the facts mentioned, GC University Lahore initiates MS Electrical Engineering Programme with specializations in Control Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering.

  • Electronic Engineering

  • Control Engineering

  • Computer Engineering

  • Telecommunication Engineering

Career Opportunities/Scope

Electrical Engineering is a profession that uses science, technology, and problem-solving skills to design, construct, and maintain products, services, and information systems.

An electrical engineer may choose to couple the technical aspects of a position with management responsibilities. The technical expertise required for management today is increasing because of the explosion of knowledge in engineering, technology, and science.

A Bachelor of Science degree in engineering with a specialty in electrical engineering may also serve as a starting point for careers in many other diverse fields, ranging from business to law, medicine, and politics, since the problem-solving skills acquired in an electrical engineering programme provide an extraordinarily valuable asset.

In addition to the primary fields of electrical, electronics, and computer engineering, a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering serves as an appropriate base for several allied fields. These include, for example, biomedical engineering, computer science, and aerospace engineering.

Some of the potential employers in Pakistan include:

Power Sector: NTDC, PEPCO, LESCO, GEPCO, Kohinoor Energy (Pvt) Ltd and Orient Energy Systems etc.

Telecommunication Sector: PTCL, Erricson, HUAWEI, Ufone, Telenor, Mobilink and Wateen etc.
