B.Sc. Electrical Engineering program at GIFT is based on the curriculum approved by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). The coursework is designed to help the freshmen students strengthen their fundamental concepts of essential mathematics and physics to be applied in advanced electrical engineering courses. Introduction to various specialized areas in electrical engineering is made through breadth courses in the second year and the first half of the third year. In the second half of the third year and the final year, students study an array of advanced specialization courses to strengthen advanced concepts in the areas of their choice. GIFT Electrical Engineering program is specially designed to fulfill the current global and local industry demands with a special emphasis on industrial electronics and embedded systems. GIFT University Electrical Engineering program offers hands-on technical experience and the benefits of active industrial linkages to its graduates which make it stand out from its competition in the country.   

The study plan is in full compliance with the electronic engineering stream of the electrical engineering curriculum, approved by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).

Further, students are prepared for the highly competitive job market through courses in communication skills, engineering management, and engineering economics, enabling them to handle challenging work environments professionally. Along with these, social science elective courses are also included in the curriculum to help students enhance their soft skills and develop well-groomed personalities.

GIFT University offers the advantage of supporting this HEC/PEC-approved curriculum by well-equipped engineering and computing laboratories under the supervision of highly qualified faculty. Currently, the Department of Electrical Engineering has five well-equipped laboratories: Circuits & Electronics Laboratory, Digital Systems Laboratory, Instrumentation & Control Laboratory, Senior Design Project Laboratory, and Engineering Workshop. The equipment available in these laboratories is used by students in their term projects and by faculty in their research projects. Students are assigned term projects in several courses of the degree program. Furthermore, students work in these laboratories to design and assemble their electronic gadgets for competing in various national engineering projects competitions. Electrical Engineering graduates are encouraged/groomed to present their research work in renowned national/international conferences and technical journals that strengthen their aptitude and collaborative capabilities.

The bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is one of the most sought-after degrees in the current era of information, automation, instrumentation, and control systems. Bright career prospects await graduates of this program because Pakistan has an acute shortage of professional engineers who can develop embedded instrumentation and control systems for the industry. An important aim of the Electrical Engineering degree program is to inculcate entrepreneurial zeal in its graduates, in collaboration with GIFT Business School, so that they strive to start their own companies and create jobs, instead of becoming a workforce requiring directions from above to perform their duties. Nowadays, after attaining Level-II P.E.C. accreditation in Electrical Engineering, graduates can directly compete in developed countries‘ job markets and attain work permits after graduation. (e. g. USA, UK, Canada, Australia, etc.)

As electricity is the lifeline of all kinds of businesses and other activities in the modern world, Electrical Engineering is; therefore, one of the most important professional degrees. Through this program, we aspire to produce graduates who can successfully analyze, design and test electrical and electronic systems. The students of this program will acquire knowledge and expertise suitable for their professional area of practice in Electrical Engineering and postgraduate studies to pursue lifelong learning. The vision of the program is to produce graduates who are not only technically competent but also can communicate effectively and professionally, as well as become productive members of a team, assume leadership and entrepreneurial roles, contribute to professional, civic service, foster community and global responsibility considering health, safety, ethical and environmental issues.

The undergraduate program in “Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering” is accredited with Pakistan Engineering Council at Level-I OBE-based accreditation. Electrical Engineering Department, at GIFT University, has defined the Program Educational Objectives (PEO) according to the University’s mission and industry demands. After the Electrical engineering program, students should be: 

PEO 1: Able to understand and grasp industrial problems and devise effective solutions using the latest technology. 

PEO 2: Capable of working as a team lead/member with effective communication and interpersonal skills. 

PEO 3: Display ethical and mature character with high moral values, positive attitude, responsible behavior, and virtuous vision.
