It is my pleasure to welcome you – on behalf of our faculty – to the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Bangladesh University of Business and Technology (BUBT). Since we believe that Innovation is a Journey – not a Destination, Department of EEE at BUBT is continuously being equipped with modern infrastructural facilities, updated course curriculum, enriched laboratory facilities, and air conditioned class rooms with multimedia projectors to ensure quality of education.

At present, human civilization is quite unthinkable without the existence of EEE and the unprecedented mobility of knowledge, technology, information and capital has redefined EEE recently. The Electrical and Electronic Engineers are everywhere—in industry, communication networks, electronic circuits and systems, optics and photonics, semiconductor and solid-state devices, nano-electronics, biomedical engineering, computational biology, artificial intelligence, robotics, design and manufacturing, control and optimization, image processing systems, electrical machines, electromechanical equipment, biomedical engineering and many more. Therefore, Department of EEE has taken the challenge of producing quality graduates to cope up with the diverse fields of EEE locally and globally.

The Outcome Based Education (OBE) is a model of modern teaching-learning that rejects the traditional focus on what the school provides to students in the past. The OBE andragogy model helps students to demonstrate that they “know and are able to do” whatever the required outcomes are. Based on objectives of OBE, we review our curricula regularly and keep updated to accommodate the latest developments and breakthroughs in various fields of EEE. The syllabus focuses four major areas including power & energy, electronics, telecommunications and computer. The Department of EEE encourages various extra- and co-curricular activities through departmental club called ‘EEE Club’ that organizes study tours, seminars, workshops, and short courses on advanced topics in a regular basis.

Currently, the B.Sc. in EEE program, BUBT is under the process of accreditation by the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE), IEB. The efficient and adequate size of teaching staff including several PhD holders from foreign universities has been engaged to prepare EEE graduates to be competent for the challenges of 21st century. Our teaching staff is dedicated to our students, inspiring to enjoy the course materials and hard-working for the students to cope up with the modern system and technology in the wide range of engineering fields.

Our andragogy approach of undergraduate teaching-learning is quite student-friendly. The EEE graduates of BUBT are continually being engaged in various professional jobs, higher studies and start-ups at home and abroad. I would like to recommend and invite bright young students with higher ambition to join our well-established and sustainable B.Sc. in EEE program to lead the industry, academia and entrepreneurship.
