The Electrical Engineering Department houses 13 standardized laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, spread over three floors within the main building of UCP.

To promote space technology in Pakistan, the Space Research Center (SRC) at UCP was established in 2020 with funding from the Ministry of Planning and Development, Pakistan. SRC-UCP is dedicated to advancing space technology through educational initiatives and focuses on producing high-quality space tech products for students and educators in STEM, engineering, science, and technology.

Our qualified and dedicated faculty members teach Electrical Engineering at both undergraduate and graduate levels with full zeal and commitment. To date, around 1,550 students from 18 batches have graduated from the program, forming a strong and growing alumni network across the globe.

Outline

The Computer Engineering program is structured in accordance with HEC’s semester credit hour requirements and PEC’s engineering skills development objectives. The curriculum has been refined through continuous quality improvement and follows the guidelines of PEC and HEC’s National Curriculum Review Committee (NCRC) to ensure inclusion of foundation, breadth, and depth courses.

The curriculum spans eight major knowledge domains:

Engineering Foundation
Computers and Information Science
Multidisciplinary Engineering Courses
Humanities
Management Sciences
Natural Sciences
Senior Design Projects
Industrial Training

The program targets all three learning domains—cognitive, psychomotor, and affective—through a balanced mix of teaching and assessment methods. Computer Programming, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and AI have been made integral part of the program to train young professional to thrive in modern industrial era.
