Elective Courses
In order to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Department of EEE, a student needs to complete 5 elective courses, including 4 theory courses and 1 lab course, totaling 13.5 credits. A student must choose at least 3 theory courses and 1 lab course from any of the following major study areas: Power Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Communication Engineering, and Computer Engineering. Additionally, the student must choose 1 theory course from other study areas. For example, if a student chooses Power Engineering as their major, they must take 3 theory courses and 1 lab course from the Power Engineering group and take 1 theory course from the other groups, such as Electronic Engineering, Communication Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Interdisciplinary Courses. Any theory course taken must be accompanied by the corresponding lab course and vice versa (if applicable).
Furthermore, a student may choose to take additional courses (3 theory courses and 1 lab course from another major study area) to earn extra credits for a second major. For instance, a student may take 3 theory courses and 1 lab course from the Power Engineering group and then take an additional 3 theory courses and 1 lab course from the Computer Engineering group to complete a double major in Power Engineering and Computer Engineering.
A student will work on their B.Sc. Engg. (EEE) thesis (EEE 4000 Project and Thesis) on a topic related to their major group under the supervision of a faculty member assigned by the department. The policy for assigning thesis topics and supervisors to students in a batch will be established by the department at the beginning of the thesis commencement term (level 4, term 1) for that batch.
