Career Opportunities/Scope

Electrical Engineering is a profession that uses science, technology, and problem-solving skills to design, construct, and maintain products, services, and information systems. An electrical engineer may choose to couple the technical aspects of a position with management responsibilities. The requirement of technical expertise for today’s manager has significantly increased because of the explosion of knowledge in all engineering disciplines.

A Bachelor of Science degree in engineering with a specialty in electrical engineering may also serve as a starting point for careers in many other diverse fields, ranging from business to law, medicine, and politics, since the problem-solving skills acquired in an electrical engineering programme provide an extraordinarily valuable asset that serves as a solid foundation to progress in any field. In addition to the primary fields of electrical, electronic, and computer engineering, a bachelors degree in electrical engineering serves as an appropriate base for several allied fields. These include, for example, biomedical engineering, computer science, and aerospace engineering.

Some of the potential employers in Pakistan include:

  • Power Sector: NTDC, PEPCO, LESCO, GEPCO, Kohinoor Energy (Pvt) Ltd and Orient Energy Systems etc.
  • Telecommunication Sector: PTCL, Ericsson, Huawei, Ufone, Telenor, Mobilink and Wateen etc.
  • Defence Sector: NESCOM, Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (Kamra) and HMC Taxila etc.
  • Consumer Electronics: PEL, Samsung, Sony, Dawlance, Mitsubishi and Haier etc.
  • Other Engineering Companies: Pak-American Fertilizers, Packages Ltd, NESPAK, Water And Sanitation Agency (WASA), and Pioneer Cement Industry etc.
Research

Following research groups have been established in the Department:
