Department of Electrical Engineering
Introduction
The foundation of the Department of Electrical
Engineering was laid down back in the year 2000
w h e n t h e C o m p u t e r Te c h n o l o g y a n d
Communication Programme was started under
the umbrella of CASP at the postgraduate
Diploma Level. The programme was upgraded to
MSc Telecommunication in 2002. The programme
gained significant recognition and graduates are
making substantial contribution in the expansion
of computing and telecom industry. Recognizing
the strong role of engineering education in the
national economy, engineering discipline was
strengthened in 2006, when a BSc Electronic and
Telecommunication Engineering Programme
were introduced the same year. The 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 recommendation of Pakistan
Engineering Council, establishment of Faculty of
Engineering was approved by Syndicate in 2009
and the programme was shifted from CASP to its
present premises. The Department of
Engineering was notified in March 2010. The BSc
Engineering Programme was accredited by
Pakistan Engineering Council in 2011 which is an
acknowledgment of efforts of the university in
setting up good standards of engineering
education. To reflect the academic activities of
Department effectively, Syndicate in its 41st
meeting approved the change of the name of
Department of Engineering as Department of
Electrical 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
Department of Electrical Engineering
industry. The area is vital for normal working and
growth of Pakistan's economy where there is
acute shortage of competent and qualified
manpower. In line with the tradition of GC
University, this degree programme is run by wellqualified and competent faculty and staff 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:

Department of Electrical Engineering
 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 there applications requires
sound knowledge in areas like Mechatronics and
Control Engineering, Computer Engineering and
Electronic Engineering. The implementation of
LTE and other emerging advanced wireless and
broadband technologies, which opened new
horizons and has created the applications of
telecommunications in areas like security and
surveillance, medicine and educations world over,
is still awaited in Pakistan. The primary reason for
150 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

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 telecommunication engineers of high
caliber in the country. Realizing these facts, GC
University Lahore initiated MS Electrical
Engineering Programme with the following
specializations:
 Electronic Engineering
 Control Engineering
 Computer Engineering
 Telecommunication Engineering
Research
Following three research group have been
established in the Department:
 System Level Integration
 Robotic and Intelligent Systems
 Signal Processing
Facilities
The Department is currently having the below
mentioned labs with state of-the-art equipment:
1. Electronics Lab
2. Communication Systems Lab
3. Signal Processing Lab
4. Embedded Systems and Logic Design Lab
5. Power Electronics Lab
6. Control Systems Lab
7. Computer / Data Communication and Networks

Departmental Library
The Department of Electrical Engineering has a
dedicated Departmental Library in addition to the
GCU's central library. This Departmental library has
a collection of over 2000 books explicitly related to
Electronic Engineering, Control Engineering,
Computer Engineering and 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 requirement
of technical expertise for today's manager has
significantly increased because of the explosion of
knowledge in all engineering disciplines.
A Bachelor of Science degree in engineering with a
speciality 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 that serves as a solid
foundation to progress in any field. In addition to the
primary fields of electrical, electronics and computer
engineering, a Bachelors degree in electrical
engineering serves as an appropriate base for several
allied fields. These include, biomedical engineering,
computer science, and aerospace engineering etc.
Some of the potential employers in Pakistan include:
