About the Department

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is rapidly approaching in the modern world, necessitating an understanding of cutting-edge electrical and electronic engineering technology. Graduates ought to pick up the skills necessary to be ready for the workforce. To meet the demand, The B.Sc. program in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Presidency University is designed to give students a foundation in both the fundamental sciences and this area of engineering. Additionally, the program offers enough general education to support a student's cultural development and produce professionals with a keen social consciousness. Senior year is when elective courses are first offered. When choosing their courses, students must adhere to the department's design, breadth, and depth of requirements. The program also provides sufficient general education to enhance the cultural growth of a student leading to professionals with strong social awareness. Elective courses are introduced in senior year. Students must meet the design, depth, and breadth of requirements of the department in their selection of the courses. The requirements of achieving 4IR are also met by taking courses in other core areas, or courses in emerging technologies. The design requirement is met through a capstone design project and internship/research/entrepreneurship of ten credit hours in the fourth year. The depth requirement is met by taking a minimum of three courses (9 credit hours) from four core areas of Communication and Signal Processing, Electronics, Power System Engineering, and Hardware and Software Systems.
