The Objective and Thrust of the Department

Department of Electrical Engineering started as a research group called Computer & Control Systems Group (C&CSG), with the main objectives of establishing research activities and training in the areas of Computer Sciences and Control Systems Engineering. The group launched MS Systems Engineering program in 1988. After restructuring of PIEAS, formerly known as Center for Nuclear Studies (CNS), it was separately established as Electrical Engineering Department in 2000. The department offers the following three programs:

	B.S. Electrical Engineering
	M.S. Systems Engineering
	Ph. D. Systems Engineering

More than 300 scientists and engineers have graduated and currently 65 students are registered under M.S. Systems Engineering program. Ph.D. in Systems Engineering was started in 1999. Two students have been awarded Ph.D. degrees in Systems Engineering and 8 are currently pursuing their research leading to Ph.D. The first batch of BS Electrical Engineering students will be inducted in Fall 2009 with specialization in Electronics. Specializations in Power and Computer Engineering will also be offered in the coming years.

Faculty

The teaching faculty of the department consists of 22 permanent faculty members. Fifteen of them, including 8 Ph. D.s and 7 MS degree holders in their respective fields, are dedicatedly involved in teaching and research activities. Six faculty members are pursuing their higher studies to Ph. D. abroad. Moreover 12 to 15 faculty members from other departments of PIEAS are also contributing in teaching and research activities in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

The Academic Programmes

BS Electrical Engineering
The first batch of BS Electrical Engineering with specialization in Electronics has been launched for the session starting in Fall 2009. Moreover, considering the increasing demand for Electrical Engineers in public and private sector organizations of Pakistan, PIEAS is also planning to initiate specializations in Power, Communication, and Computer Engineering. This program will take benefit from teaching experience and research expertise of existing faculty at graduate in diverse areas in tandem with state-of-the-art lab facilities. The accreditation of the program from Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is under process.

Course Contents (BS Electrical Engineering)

MS Systems Engineering
MS Systems Engineering program was launched in 1988 to fulfill the skilled manpower requirements of strategic organizations in the area of instrumentation and control. The program focuses on teaching and research in the fields of advanced control, applied electronics, signal & image processing, robotics & automation, and machine learning. This program spans a period of 2 years, comprising 5 regular semesters covering 69 credit hours. Seventeen batches have already graduated under this program and 2 are currently pursuing their studies at the institute. The graduates of the program are potential contributors to academia, R&D organizations, control and automation, and software industries of public and private sector organizations in and outside Pakistan.

Ph.D. Systems Engineering
The research work on a topic of choice but related to electrical engineering, control systems and automation. Thesis will require an international review and minimum 3 publications in reputed journals.

Research Activities

The teaching and research activities of the faculty and students are focused in the areas of

	Control Theory and Applications
	Digital Signal and Image Processing
	Machine Learning
	Robotics and Automation

The research work of faculty and students culminates in research papers which are published in international conferences/journals and internal reports available in the PIEAS library.
