The University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (UAJK) Muzaffarabad has established the Department of Electrical Engineering on semester system basis in accordance with the regulations and guidelines of Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
It is my real pleasure to introduce you to the department. Our mission is to produce first rate electrical engineers for the current and long term future needs of Pakistan. The technology scenario is dynamic and we are preparing our graduates to handle rapid changes in the state of technology. Training into self-learning and ability to think are the two fundamental requirements for our graduates.
The field of electrical engineering was built on the shoulders of giants — Tesla, Edison, Marconi, Bell, to name a few — to meet the energy and telecommunication needs of humanity. Out of our advancements in electronics and photonics technology, electrical engineering is keeping the promise. Nowadays, most everything we use in our daily lives has a power source and a chip and implements some sophisticated communication protocol and data/signal processing algorithm.
Our faculty and students every day define new directions for electrical engineering and strive to develop new technologies to help address critical societal challenges. Our major areas of research include: Electronics, Telecommunication and Power Systems. Students may specialize in these areas, whether it is in the form of basic or advanced-level undergraduate courses, graduate courses, or research in the lab.
The EECS department offers PEC accredited undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering. At the graduate level, we offer M.S. degree programs in electrical engineering with specializations in Electronics, Telecommunication and Power. Our undergraduate and graduate curricula are constantly refined to meet real-world demands and rapid changes in technology to provide students with the skills to address 21st century challenges.
I invite you to explore our site and learn about our innovative research, competitive academic programs, supportive learning environment, modern facilities, and global impact.
I hope you will explore our teaching and research programs and reach out to us with any questions. We are always interested in new opportunities for collaboration.
The department of electrical engineering has implemented OBE based engineering education system for providing quality engineering education to the students.
