Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering(EEE) at BAC  provides top-quality teaching, research, and other services to the academic community. The department offers an excellent and rigorous academic program that is appropriate to the career field. Its design,  composition, delivery, and assessment of learning follows are in accordance with international academic best practices. 

The program focuses on the four key areas of electronics: circuits and systems, signal processing, computing, and communication. Students develop in-depth knowledge and practical expertise in circuit analysis and design, mechanisms for automated control of processes, communication systems, signal processing, and electrical power generation and delivery. These produce  highly-qualified engineers who can tackle rapid technological advances by providing innovative solutions.

  • Produce graduates with the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to be competitive and creative. 
  • Produce graduates with the knowledge and skills required to critically evaluate information, assumptions, arguments, and concepts for solving real-world engineering problems. 
  • Produce graduates with the qualities and skills for employability enabling them to either pursue courses of further study and research, or to move directly into their chosen career

Laboratory Facilities

Electronics Laboratory

This laboratory is used to perform experiments related to the fundamentals of subjects common to all EEE students. These students perform various experiments for different combinational and sequential digital circuits such as comparators, multiplexers, flip-flops, counters, shift registers, and sequence detectors.

In order to understand the basic concepts of electronic systems, the lab is equipped with Function Generators, Analog or Digital Integrated Circuits, Analogue or Digital Oscilloscopes, PCs with specialized electronic design software, Fixed and Variable Power Supplies and Arduino Kits

Control Systems Laboratory

The Control Systems Laboratory is equipped with a hand robot, coupled tanks, industrial control systems, microcontroller boards from Matrix (E-blocks2) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) kits. The equipment is used for teaching process calibration, open loop and closed-loop systems, and PID controllers. The lab is also equipped with digital oscilloscopes, arbitrary sweep generators and Flowcode and Matlab/Simulink software.

This laboratory is used for introducing and reinforcing the fundamentals of various analog and digital control systems, PID controllers and interfaces. It is also used for the calibration and diagnostics of various control systems for testing purposes. We also conduct research on the characteristics of different types of linear and non-linear controllers and multivariable control theories.
