The Electrical Engineering Department at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology offers unique opportunities for education, research and innovation. The Electrical Engineering Department was founded in 1999 to meet the increasing demand for highly educated engineering graduates.
|
|
Now, after more than nine years, Electrical Engineering Department has grown beyond expectations and is consistently ranked among the top ten Engineering Departments of Pakistan by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.
|
Since its inception, Electrical Engineering
Department has been active in recruiting outstanding new faculty members to support
its teaching and research activities and we continuously add significantly to this
faculty base. Under the umbrella of Faculty development program every year we send
a number of our faculty members for higher education and short-term scientific and
research training in well reputed International universities and institutes. Our
young and highly qualified faculty members have tremendous potential to change the
traditional way of thinking about engineering education, pedagogy and research excellence.
I am convinced that as it continues to mature and expand it will emerge as an internationally
recognized centre of excellence in the field of Electrical Engineering. Our faculty
members are conducting research in the core areas of Electrical Engineering including
Wireless Communications, Microwave Engineering, Signal and Image Processing, Data
Communication And Computer Networks, VLSI, Embedded Systems, Optoelectronics and
Photonic Systems, and Renewable Energy.
Since the establishment
of Electrical Engineering Department we have increased our student body to over
6,000 students at different campuses of COMSATS Institute of Information Technology.
The Electrical Engineering Department is distinguished by the extraordinary excellence
of its students. Our students rank in the top tier statistically, come from all
over the Pakistan and represent a rich blend of diverse cultural backgrounds.
When it comes to
career development and planning, students at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology
are supported by marvelous services of our career development center and advice
from our newly-established Industrial Liaison office. The Industrial liaison office
works closely with career development office to liaise with relevant employers in
order to learn their hiring priorities and guide the students accordingly. These
arrangements reflect CIIT’s commitment in enabling all of our students to access
the maximum possible range of career opportunities in the engineering industry.
We offer undergraduate
degree programs at different Campuses of CIIT in Telecommunication Engineering,
Electronic Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering and Computer Engineering. Proposals
for undergraduate programs in Mechanical and Civil Engineering are under-consideration.
We also offer MS and PhD degree programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer
Engineering. Some more MS and PhD programs are under development in collaboration
with International Universities, as we have working relationship with quite a few
International Universities, and these programs will be offered in near future. In
support of research and training, we have established a Center of Advanced Studies
in Telecommunication (CAST) at Islamabad Campus and similar centers of excellence
in other areas of Electrical Engineering are going to be established in other campuses
of CIIT.
Our newly developed
campuses are equipped with state-of-art teaching and research labs, new libraries
(one of the largest in the country), modern teaching aids and supplemented with
wide range of facilities for extracurricular activities. Apart from educational
excellence, we recognize that the choice of an institution is influenced by practical
concerns such as location and cost. Our campuses are located at very convenient
places and we are also striving to keep our tuition fee well-below the tuition fee
charged by many other institutions of the country.
Our past achievements are a source of pride
for CIIT and many more exciting changes are planned for the years to come. These
changes are premeditated to ensure that the Engineering department at CIIT remains
one of the leading institutions nationally as well as internationally. This is the
best time to be a student at department of Engineering at CIIT and take full advantage
of its rich learning environment.
