Electrical Power Engineering

The Department of Electrical Engineering, at the Mehran University of Engineering and Technology Jamshoro, is one of the most prestigious schools of learning in the field of Electrical Engineering in Pakistan. The graduates of the Department are not only ably serving in Pakistan but also represent the country in various industries and academic institutions abroad. The Department aspires that its students at both graduate and postgraduate level be better prepared to handle modern-life challenges, therefore, it is continuously striving to improve quality of education and research. The Electrical Engineering department at MUET currently offers postgraduate program leading to PhD in Electrical Engineering. The Electrical department offers a broad range of electrical courses, both elementary and advanced, spanning the whole gamut of Electrical disciplines including areas such as Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, Power Engineering, Control Systems, High Voltage Engineering and Energy Management. We have highly developed faculty comprising of 07 PhDs, 10 MScs and other 08 competent teaching staff. Our postgraduate qualified faculty is successfully supervising, guiding and producing MScs and PhDs. The research being carried out at the Department has direct bearing on the needs of national industry. A number of research papers are written every year by faculty members and postgraduate students which are normally published in major national and international journals or presented at international conferences.

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.
