Electrical Engineering at Pashchimanchal Campus is structured around the generation, transmission, distribution, control, measurement, conversion, and application of electrical energy and electrical systems.
Students do not begin directly with advanced power engineering. The first stage establishes the mathematics, physics, computing, circuit, electronics, drawing, and mechanics needed for later subjects.
As the program progresses, the focus shifts toward electrical machines, power systems, instrumentation, microprocessors, control systems, power electronics, protection, industrial electrical systems, electrical drives, distribution networks, power plants, transmission systems, and high-voltage engineering.
This progression connects fundamental electrical principles with progressively larger and more specialized electrical systems.
The program may suit students who are interested in electricity, circuits, machines, power systems, control, measurement, electronics, and engineering problem solving.
The course requires sustained work with mathematics and technical analysis. Students also encounter programming, electronics, laboratory experiments, electrical installation work, measurements, machines, control systems, and project activity.
Students considering the program should be comfortable with:

The general process includes:
Pashchimanchal Campus has 48 seats for the program.
Bachelor in Electrical Engineering is a four-year program organized into eight semesters.
The curriculum combines lectures, tutorials, laboratory periods, workshop activity, programming, practical exercises, elective courses, and project-related work. Different subjects carry different combinations of lecture, tutorial, and practical hours.
The first year establishes the engineering foundation. The second year brings students into core electrical machines, power systems, instrumentation, and control subjects. The third year introduces more specialized power, automation, electronics, protection, drives, and industrial electrical topics. Final-year study moves toward power generation, system operation, transmission, high-voltage engineering, electives, and advanced engineering work.
The first semester contains six courses with a total of 18 credits:
| Course | Credits |
|---|---|
| Engineering Mathematics I | 3 |
| Engineering Physics | 4 |
| Computer Programming | 3 |
| Engineering Drawing | 2 |
| Applied Mechanics | 3 |
| Electric Circuit I | 3 |
Electric Circuit I begins the discipline-specific electrical sequence during the first semester. Mathematics, physics, programming, drawing, and mechanics provide the supporting analytical and engineering foundation.
The second semester continues that foundation with:
Electric Circuit II extends the circuit sequence, while Electronics Circuits introduces electronic components and circuit behavior. Advanced Computer Programming continues computing study, and Electrical Installation Workshop provides a practical workshop component.
Together, the first two semesters establish the mathematical, scientific, computational, circuit, and practical background required for later electrical engineering study.
The first semester of the second year moves directly into core electrical engineering.
| Course | Credits |
|---|---|
| Engineering Mathematics III | 3 |
| Instrumentation and Measurement | 3 |
| Electrical Machine I | 3 |
| Electrical Engineering Material | 3 |
| Power System Analysis I | 3 |
| Logic Circuit | 3 |
This semester totals 18 credits.
Instrumentation and Measurement introduces the measurement side of electrical engineering. Electrical Machine I begins formal study of electrical machines, while Electrical Engineering Material addresses materials used within the discipline.
Power System Analysis I introduces power-system study, and Logic Circuit adds a digital and electronic dimension to the semester.
The second part of the year continues with subjects including:
The sequence advances three major areas at the same time: electrical machines, power systems, and control. Microprocessors and Microcontrollers also connect electrical engineering with programmable electronic systems.
By the third year, the curriculum moves into specialized electrical engineering subjects.
The first semester includes:
Power Electronics addresses electronic control and conversion of electrical power. Digital Control System develops the control component of the program, while Switchgear and Protection deals with protection and switching within electrical systems.
Electric Machine Design follows the earlier Electrical Machine I and II sequence and moves the subject toward design-oriented study.
The following semester includes Engineering Economics along with more applied electrical subjects:
Industrial Instrumentation and Automation brings measurement and control into industrial applications. Industrial Electrification deals with electrical systems in an industrial setting, while Electrical Drives focuses on electrically driven machine systems.
Electric Power Distribution System addresses the part of the power network responsible for distributing electrical energy to users.
A Minor Project is included in this stage, giving students a defined project component before the final year. An elective also allows study within an approved specialist area.
The final year takes students further into power generation, transmission, operation, and high-voltage study.
The first part includes subjects such as:
These subjects build on the earlier Power System Analysis sequence.
Power Plant Engineering addresses generation-related engineering. Power System Operation and Control deals with the operation and control of electrical power systems, while Transmission System Design moves into the engineering of systems used to transfer electrical power over transmission networks.
High Voltage Engineering covers the high-voltage side of electrical engineering within the final-year curriculum.
Elective and project-related components also form part of the later academic structure under the TU/IOE curriculum.
Electrical machines form a continuous subject sequence within the program.
Students progress through Electrical Machine I and Electric Machine II before studying Electric Machine Design. Electrical Drives later examines the operation and control of electrically driven systems.
This sequence links theory, machine characteristics, application, control, and design rather than treating electrical machines as a single isolated course.
Laboratory and practical components associated with electrical study also allow students to work with measurements and equipment rather than studying machines only through calculations.
Power-system study forms one of the central strands of the curriculum.
Students begin with Power System Analysis I and continue through Power System Analysis II. Later courses include Switchgear and Protection, Electric Power Distribution System, Power Plant Engineering, Power System Operation and Control, High Voltage Engineering, and Transmission System Design.
The sequence therefore covers several stages of an electrical power system:
This is supported by subjects in electrical machines, power electronics, instrumentation, control, and electrical materials.
Electrical Engineering also includes a substantial measurement and control component.
Instrumentation and Measurement appears in the second year. Control System follows in the next semester. Students later study Digital Control System and Industrial Instrumentation and Automation.
These courses establish a progression from measuring electrical and physical quantities to studying control principles and applying control and instrumentation within engineering systems.
Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, Digital Signal Processing and Application, and Power Electronics provide further technical links between electrical systems, electronics, and control.
Power Electronics appears in the third year and is followed by Electrical Drives.
Power electronics deals with the electronic conversion and control of electrical power, while electrical drives relate that control to electrically operated machine systems.
The two subjects sit within a wider sequence that includes circuits, electronics, machines, control systems, and industrial electrification.
Students who later continue into specialized postgraduate electrical study at the campus can consider the MSc in Electrical Engineering in Distributed Generation, subject to the applicable postgraduate eligibility and admission requirements.
