BS Robotics & Intelligent Systems

BS Robotics and Intelligent Systems program at UCP is designed to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and problem-solving abilities required to develop and modify solutions for industrial and societal challenges. The program emphasizes responsible leadership, especially in times of rapid technological change. We provide hands-on experience and cooperative training that prepares students for career opportunities across diverse fields as professional engineers.

At the Department of Electrical Engineering, we are committed to equipping our graduates with the expertise and values necessary to become effective problem solvers in modern industrial environments, thereby leading society towards a sustainable future.

The Faculty of Engineering launched its Robotics and Intelligent Systems program in Fall 2023. 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.

The BS Robotics and Intelligent Systems program is structured in accordance with HEC’s semester credit hour requirements The curriculum has been refined through continuous quality improvement and follows the guidelines of HEC’s undergraduate policy.

The curriculum spans eight major knowledge domains:

• General Education
• Computing
• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• 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.
