Electrical Engineering from PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) Accreditation Status

All graduated engineering batches are accredited from Pakistan Engineering Council. BS Electrical Engineering batches since 2018 intake are further accredited at OBE level-II. For the first time in department history, three consecutive batches of BS Electrical Engineering program (2019-23, 2020-24 and 2021-25) have been re-accredited by PEC on OBE level-II which is a testament to the quality of engineering education offered by the department.evel-II.

Mission

Our mission is to prepare individuals capable of responding to the rapidly changing field of Electrical Engineering. It is imperative that our students develop the necessary intellectual abilities, social tolerance, technical, entrepreneurial and leadership skills alongside moral and ethical values to successfully grasp this change for a prosperous future. The department meets this challenge through implementation of a dynamic and versatile Outcome Based Engineering Education System.

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. These advancements have resulted in the successful launch of MS and PhD programs in fall 2019. 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 education in Pakistan. Since the accreditation of the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) with the Washington Accord, 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 PEC 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 spring 2019. Another milestone achieved by the department in 2023 is the re-accreditation of the BS Electrical Engineering program (intake batch 2018-2022) at OBE level-II.

This was followed by PEC level-II OBE based re-accredited three consecutive batches of BS Electrical Engineering program (2019-23, 2020-24 and 2021-25). This is a testament to the quality of engineering education offered by the department. Additionally in 2023, GCUF has been added to the list of authorized HEIs to conduct national level entry test for admission to undergraduate engineering programs.

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 BS Electrical Engineering program.

BS Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
PEO-1	Apply Engineering Knowledge to resolve the technical problems of the society.
PEO-2	Enhance the intellectual and analytical abilities in taking initiative to developing innovative ideas for technological and professional growth in the field of Electrical Engineering.
PEO-3	Work effectively as a team member or lead multidisciplinary teams while demonstrating the interpersonal, entrepreneurial and management skills alongside ethical responsibilities.

Program Learning Outcomes

Additionally, there are twelve graduate attributes which have been defined by the PEC. 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 curriculum. Additionally, Indirect assessment of PLOs is carried out by means of stakeholder’s feedback. The PEC provided graduate attributes adopted as PLOs of BS Electrical Engineering program are as follows:

	BS Electrical Engineering Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
