BSc Electrical Engineering – University of Engineering and Technology Lahore

B.Sc. Electrical Engineering at the UET Lahore profile is one of the university’s founding disciplines, taught at the Main Campus in Lahore since the institution became a university in 1961 and now also at KSK, Faisalabad, RCET Gujranwala and Narowal. It is a four-year PEC-accredited engineering degree.

Program Overview

The curriculum covers circuit analysis, electronics, electromagnetics, signals and systems, power systems and machines, control systems, communications and digital design, with specialisation streams in power, electronics, communications or control in the final year. Electrical engineering suits Pre-Engineering students who are strong in physics and mathematics and want a broad engineering base with entry to the power sector, telecom and electronics.
