Mission
Our mission is to enable future technologists to face challenges of their field with intellectual and technical expertise keeping in view the ethical and moral aspects of their work. Moreover, to produce highly competent future leaders capable of bringing Pakistan into a new era of technological and entrepreneurial advancement through education based on industrial trainings, hands on experience and research.
Introduction
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Technology, since its formulation in 2004, has been imparting quality knowledge and skills of Electrical Engineering and Technology to its undergraduate students. Over the years, the department has gradually been evolving into its current state with advanced teaching methods, modern laboratory facilities, highly qualified faculty including PhDs, and an efficient administrative/organizational setup. The department has been structured to have an Engineering section and a Technology section at the undergraduate level, in addition to the postgraduate programs.
The adoption of Outcome Based Education (OBE) has been a major step forward for engineering and technology education in Pakistan. Since its inception, this system has transformed our education system from conventional input-based systems to an internationally accepted OBE system. This allows all stakeholders of the education system to contribute to the development of the engineering curricula. Based on the recommendation of NTC and in line with the university’s mission and vision, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Technology, GCUF is adopting this system with effect from fall 2020.
To fully implement the OBE system in Department of Electrical Engineering and Technology to incorporate stakeholders into the system, the department has established a Placement Bureau/ Industrial Liaison Office and an Industrial Advisory board. The Placement Bureau/ Industrial Liaison Office maintains close collaboration with the industry and facilitates internship/job placement of the students/graduates and also organizes industrial visits to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The Industrial Advisory Board, comprising representatives from power and telecom sectors including Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce& Industry (FCCI), advises the department on strengthening industry academia linkages and curriculum revisions in line with industrial needs.
Program Educational Objectives
In line with OBE system guidelines, university’s vision, mission and industrial needs, the Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) have been developed by the department of electrical engineering and technology for BSc Electrical Engineering Technology program.

Program Learning Outcomes
Additionally, there are eleven graduate attributes which have been defined by the NTC. These graduate attributes known as Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) must be attained by the graduate students and serve as the integral part of OBE. These PLOs are attained by students through direct assessment of respective Course learning outcomes of Electrical Engineering technology curriculum. Additionally, Indirect assessment of PLOs is carried out by means of stakeholder’s feedback. The NTC provided graduate attributes adopted as PLOs of BSc Electrical Engineering Technology program are as follows:
