College of Engineering Sciences

The MS Electrical Engineering program (MS EE) enables the graduates to be research based designers of devices and systems that provide innovative solutions for entrepreneurial engineering.

The profession of electrical engineering demands a strong foundation in physical science and mathematics, a broad knowledge of engineering techniques, and an understanding of the relation between technology and society. Curricula at IoBM are planned to offer the breadth of education and depth of training necessary for leadership in industry as well as a precursor to further education.

There is a need for an ability to investigate electrical engineering problems in a methodical way including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis using first principles of mathematics, natural science and engineering sciences, and interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions.

Program Scope

In Pakistan, we are seeing a shift towards rapid growth of data networks, as well as a shift towards electronically facilitated services particularly in the public sector. Electrical engineers design develop test and supervise deployment of electrical systems and electric devices. They are expected to work on the design of sub-micron Digital and Analogue Integrated Circuits, Digital Signal Processors, Control System Design and Testing services. The Master of Science (MS) program in Electrical Engineering is designed to prepare students for technically demanding careers in industry as well as for research career in Electrical Engineering or related fields. More specifically:

It requires students to build depth in an Electrical Engineering specialization, selected from areas such as signal processing and communication, systems and control, electromagnetics and photonics, and material circuits and devices.
It affords students the opportunity to flexibly choose graduate electives to explore technical or professional interests within engineering.
The MS in Electrical Engineering (MS EE) can be either an academic or professional master’s degree that bridges the gap between the field of engineering, technology and the field of business by equipping students with the technical expertise and leadership skills required to advance their career in the fast-paced world of technology.

Program Summary:

Minimum Duration : 1.5 years
Maximum Duration : 4 years
Total Credit hours 30 credit hours
Course work 24 credit hours
Thesis 06 credit hours

Master’s program in electrical engineering provides students with latest and in depth knowledge in electrical engineering. Students enrolled have the option of designing MS studies in a way that facilitates PhD and technologically advanced careers. As per HEC guidelines the program is divided into the following streams:

Stream 1 Power Systems Engineering
Stream 2 Control and Automation Engineering
Stream 3 Communication Systems and Networks

Mission Statement of the Program

The mission of MS in Electrical Engineering (MEE) is to bridge the gap between the field of electrical engineering and technology. The program calls upon developing electrical engineers who have the practical, technical and leadership skills and confidence to carry out leading-edge research and development activities. Further, to create new engineering technologies, design and develop innovative engineering products and processes.

Program Objectives

The program has been orchestrated to meet the market demand and encompasses a broad area covering advanced digital and analogue electronics, power systems, communication, signal processing and multimedia, computer vision and advanced controls for robotics. The stream based approach aims to include hands on training, case studies and research thesis. The specific objectives of the program are :
• To produce graduates who are highly skilled professionals having domain knowledge of research and development of electrical and electronics engineering profession
• To engage in continuous professional development and exhibit quest for life long learning
• To demonstrate professional integrity and commitment to social and ethical responsibilities required of them as leaders and
entrepreneurs.
• To understand impact of power, communications and control systems on engineering solutions in a global, economic and
cultural aspect.

Specific objectives include

To expand and reinforce their undergraduate knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering in real world.
To inculcate knowledge and skills needed to effectively play a role as team member for larger projects.
To identify engineering ethical and professional responsibilities.
To understand the impact of power, communications and signal processing on engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
To improve communication between cross-disciplinary engineering teams and within engineers themselves.
To conduct meaningful research in the area of specialization and disseminate complex ideas.
To present and defend work for peer review.

In general following are the prime objectives of MS program

1. To understand the operating principles of Electrical/Electronic engineering.
2. To meet all HEC requirements for the MS program including thesis proposal and implementation.
3. To solve real world research problems related to Electrical/Electronic engineering according to the international standards.
4. To simulate, design, analyze and implement Electrical/Electronic engineering research projects.
5. To communicate effectively in a team and with stakeholders.
6. To work independently and conduct lifelong learning and adapt readily to changing situations and manage to demonstrate consistent professional ethics with high integrity.
7. To adapt the research ethics and methodologies to carry out high quality research work.
