Electrical Power Engineering

OBJECTIVES

Around the world, throughout every country, electricity is the most widespread and desirable form of energy. Its many advantages include flexibility, ease of control and distribution, high efficiency, and cleanliness availability all the times, no need to store it like Coal etc. As population grows and economic growth continues, electric energy is in short supply. Pakistan being the developing country is beset with this problem. Our industry is facing challenges arising out of the rapid growth of the population and short supply of the energy. In order to meet these challenges effectively and successfully highly skilled trained engineers are needed to develop and implement the advances in Science and Technology to solve the problems and ensure a very high degree of system reliability along with the utmost regard for the protection of our ecology. The Department of Electrical Engineering through the Directorate of Postgraduate Studies has developed a Program of postgraduate studies and research leading to M.E & PhD. The courses have been designed to solve every day problems and every effort is being made to arrive at the solutions of these problems through the teaching and research.

The M.E in Electrical Power Engineering as well as PhD program aims to produce highly-skilled professionals focused on productive research and development in the vast domain of Electrical Engineering. The program will allow motivateresearchers to expand their knowledge and acquire new skills in analysis and problem solving, creating challenging opportunities for a full, rewarding career. The program will also cater the demands and needs of local industry and strategic R & D organizations of the country. The program has been devised keeping in view the latest market demand and encompasses a broad area covering Power Electronics, Electrical Power Transmission and Distribution, Power Engineering, Control Systems, High Voltage Engineering and Energy Management.

The courses also serve the aim of developing knowledge and expertise in the field of Power Engineering, which is mainly required, by WAPDA, KESC, private Power Sectors and manufacturing industries etc.

This M.E program will also be offered at Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Campus KhairpurMirs.
