1.3 Name of the Faculty/School: Science & Engineering.
The electrical engineering faculty in conjunction with its constituents has established the
following program educational objectives for each of its students:
EEE graduates will practice the profession of engineering using a systems perspective and
analyze, design, develop, optimize, and implement complex electrical systems.
EEE graduates will contribute to industrial, service, and/or government organizations by
applying the skills and knowledge acquired through formal education and their cooperative
educational experiences.
EEE graduates will successfully pursue graduate degrees.
EEE graduates will draw upon a broad base of knowledge in providing engineering solutions
within the appropriate technological, global, societal, ethical and organizational context.
EEE Program Outcomes: what EEE students are expected to know and be able to do by the
time of graduation? These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that EE students
acquire in their matriculation through the program. The electrical engineering faculty in
conjunction with its constituents fulfills the BSEEE Program Educational Objectives by
defining specific Program Outcomes to be achieved by the curriculum. Graduates of the
Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering program must have:
An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
An ability to identify, formulates, and solve engineering problems.
An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
An ability to communicate effectively
Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
Knowledge of contemporary issues, an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern
engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
The courses of study for the B.Sc. degree in EEE are structured to provide a foundation in
both basic sciences and this branch of engineering. The program also has sufficient general
education to enhance the cultural growth of a student and develop professionals with a strong
5
social awareness. Elective courses are introduced from junior year. Students must meet the
design, depth, and breath requirements of the department in their selection of the elective
courses. The design requirement is met through senior project of six credit-hours. The breath
requirement is met by taking minimum four courses, two courses with laboratory and two
theory courses from two elective groups.
In order to produce graduates who can adapt their knowledge to changing circumstances, all
the courses to be offered by the department will put great emphasis on applying concepts
from classroom lectures and reading to solving problems. The mode of education that the
department of EEE will use is called "analytical learning" and it stresses understanding and
problem-solving rather than memorizing. In this mode, our responsibility will be to provide
experiences from which students can construct an understanding of the subject area. It is
student's responsibility to integrate the experiences into their mind, and to use the knowledge
gained in different situations.
Minimum 2nd division or GPA 2.50 in both SSC and HSC with Science background or five
subjects in O-level and three major subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) in A-level
education are required. Those having diploma in engineering (Electronic / Electrical /
Computer / Telecommunication / Power / Mechanical / Automobile / Refrigeration & air
conditioning /Electro biomedical technology) from BTEB are also eligible for admission.
Chapter 2
Rules and Regulations for Undergraduate Program
2.1 Introduction
From the academic session 2015-16, the University has introduced a course system for
undergraduate studies. The rules and regulations for administering undergraduate curricula
through the course system have been applicable to students henceforth. This new course
system has been introduced with an aim of creating a continuous, even and consistent
workload throughout the term for the students. This new curriculum does not demand the
same rate of academic progress from all students for obtaining the degree but only lays down
6
the pace expected of a normal student. A student whose background or capacity for
assimilation is lower is permitted to complete the program at a slower pace by studying a
fewer number of courses during a given term, subject to a minimum course load.
Given below is an extract from the report of the Committee for Framing Recommendations
for Implementation and Administration of Course System of instruction at undergraduate
level as approved in the meetings of the Academic Council held in 25/07/2018. Only relevant
sections of the report and the amendments that were subsequently made to it are included for
clarity.
Course Numbering: Each course offered by the University is identified by the name of the
department offering the course and a three-digit course number. These numbers indicate
course level, as follows:
Course
Numbers Level
100-299 Lower division-primarily for freshmen and sophomores
300-499 Upper division-primarily for juniors and seniors.
7
The first digit will correspond to the level in which the course is normally taken by the
students. The second and third digits will be reserved for course numbering. The odd number
for theoretical courses and even for laboratory. 0 digit as last digit is for projects.
Example:
Theory course title: Electrical Circuits I
EEE 1101
Last odd digit designates a theoretical course
The first two digit signifies 1st year, 1st semester.
There will be two terms (1st semester and 2nd semester) in academic year. The duration of
each of 1st semester and 2nd semester will be 21 weeks that will be used as follows:
Classes 14 weeks
Recess before Final Examination 2 weeks
Mid-Term Examination 2 weeks
Term Final Examination 3 weeks
Total 21 weeks
8
Completion of 163 credit hours
Completion of the project with at least a ‘C’ grade.
Passing of all courses individually and maintaining a minimum CGPA of 2.25.
* Credits for courses with this grade do not apply towards graduation.
** Credits for courses with this grade do not apply towards graduation and they are not
accepted in the calculation of the grade point average.
GPA =
Where, n is the total number of courses passed by the student, C i is the number of credits
allotted to a particular course i and G i is the grade point corresponding to the grade awarded
for i-th course.
The overall or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) gives the cumulative performance
of the student from first semester up to any other semester to which it refers and is computed
by dividing the total grade points (∑CiGi) accumulated up to the date by the total credit hours
(∑Ci). Both GPA and CGPA are rounded second place of decimal for reporting.
9
A regular student earning C, D and F grade in any course in the 1 st, 2nd and 3rd year
examination/ 1st & 2nd semester examination may improve their grade/s by appearing at the
annual/ semester examination of the same course/s only with the immediate next batch. If
such a student fails to improve his/her grade/s, the previous grade/s of the same course shall
remain valid.
If a student appears at the Improvement Examination of any course/s as mentioned in the
clause i. above, the word “Improved” shall be written to the right column of the Transcript
corresponding to the improved course/s.
No improvement shall be allowed in lab courses and Viva-voce.
For improvement of his/her grade in a particular course, the student shall apply to the Head of
the department at least 4 weeks before the start of the next annual examination.
The Head of the Department shall prepare the list/s of candidates for the regular, irregular and
improvement categories and send one copy of each to the office of the Controller of
Examinations after the last date of filling up the Examination Entry Forms.

Basis for awarding marks for class participation and attendance will be followed as per
university rules.
The number of class tests of a course shall be n + 1, where n is the number of credits of the
course. Evaluation of performance in class tests will be on the basis of the best n class tests.
The scheme of continuous assessment that a particular teacher wishes to follow for a course
will be announced on the first day of classes.
