About Program

The goals of the Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department undergraduate program is to provide the students with total learning experience through a curricular flexibility and student project work.

The program embraces the GAU philosophy of education to encourage the individual to develop initiative capabilities and personal responsibility and to create educated leaders of the electrical and electronics engineering professions with an ability to communicate, to work in teams and to understand the broad implications of their work.

Students enrolled in the BSc program are required to complete forty courses with 133 credits. A sound understanding of the principles of basic sciences is essential to the study of electrical and electronics engineering. It is essential for the students to be well versed in mathematics and physics.

The first 2 years are common for all the departments. In junior year, students take the core courses of the electrical and electronics engineering. In the senior year there is a wide range of technical elective courses, which enable students to specialise further in their particular field of interest.

The core courses aim to establish a firm general knowledge in all fields of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The courses are distributed in eight semesters through four academic years including two graduation projects and summer training.

The balanced, integrated curriculum provides an education, which is strong both in the fundamentals and in state-of-the-art knowledge, appropriate for immediate professional practice as well as graduate study and lifelong learning.

PLC & Microprocess or Laboratory

The PLC & Microprocessor laboratory is equipped for undergraduate level courses and projects. There are three groups of experimental sets in this laboratory: PLC (Siemens, Simatic S-7 200), Microprocessors (8086) sets and microcontroller (PIC F877) sets. All these sets are supported by computers and they have their specific programming tools that are aimed to teach how hardware can be controlled by a program. Laboratory is used by both Electrical and Computer Engineering students in different core or technical elective courses. The laboratory also supports graduation projects of the students.

Electronics Laboratory

This laboratory includes fundamental instruments and experimental sets for electrical and electronic circuits. It is aimed to support undergraduate courses such as circuit theory, physical electronics, electronic circuits, logic circuits and digital systems. DC and AC circuits, basics of diodes and transistors, amplifiers, OP-AMP applications, frequency response, voltage regulators, active filters, combinational logic applications, multiplexers, counters, Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU) are some applications that are conducted in this laboratory. All engineering students use this laboratory during different courses. The laboratory also gives support to graduation projects of the students.

Electric Machinery Laboratory

This laboratory provides our students different experiments on DC and AC machines on both no load and loaded conditions. The data obtained from these experiments are used to find main performance parameters of the machines and are the same time to draw characteristic curves between measured parameters during no load and loaded tests. During lab experiments, students study physical implementation of the rotors and stators for DC and AC machines.

Microwaves and Communications Laboratory

This laboratory is equipped by two different kinds of experimental sets. There are two sets for analog communications which include both modulation and demodulation facilities of the most known analog techniques such as AM, FM, ASK, PSK and their variants. This part of the lab is useful for fundamental communications courses. Additionally, microwave trainers are included in this laboratory, which are used for undergraduate and graduate level technical elective courses.
