1. Program Mission
Electrical engineering is one of the oldest disciplines of engineering. Initially it was confined to few areas such as power generation, transmission and distribution, radio communication and wireless telephony. However, in the last half of the century it has seen tremendous growth and expansion. The diversification and expansion in some areas of electrical engineering has been of such a large magnitude that they seem to be independent disciplines in their own. However, in a large part of the world electrical engineering is still considered to be the parent discipline. This curriculum has been developed on this rationale. It facilitates the teaching of common core courses and selection of courses of a particular area depending upon the need and availability of the resources.
