SYLLABUS FOR B.SC. IN
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (EEE)
Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering involves primarily the study of a
number of core courses which every electrical engineer should know and some courses from a
number of specialized areas. Core courses build the foundation of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering. UIU has set forth four areas of specialization. Students should take at least three
courses from a specializing area in order to make that area his/her major concentration.
Students should also take courses from areas other than their chosen major area of
concentration to ensure that their knowledge is not confined to a particular major area of
concentration. To understand the underpinning theory of the courses of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, a number of courses on Mathematics and Basic Science, e.g., Physics,
Chemistry etc. have been felt mandatory to include in the syllabus. In addition some social
science, management, accounting, economics and communication-skills development related
courses have been incorporated to make the syllabus a balanced one and reasonably complete.
The objective of the undergraduate program in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is to
develop broadly educated and competent graduates to meet the current and future needs of
home and abroad.
Admission Requirements
Every applicant, without any exception, must fulfill the admission requirements as laid down
by UIU. Admission test and interview for admission into the first semester will be held thrice a
year as decided by UIU. No interim or supplementary admission test or interview will be
arranged.
A higher secondary certificate or its equivalent in science with mathematics and physics or
other fields of study is the basic educational requirement. However, students passing H.S.C
from Arts or Commerce group may also apply provided they complete courses equivalent to 6
credit hours in Mathematics and Physics before they start their regular courses at UIU.
Admission Test
Applicants will be required to sit for an admission test designed to judge their abilities and
aptitude for the program. The test will be held in Dhaka as arranged by UIU. The admission
test will be held on the following three areas:
To qualify in a written test an applicant is required to obtain a minimum mark in all the three
sections separately.
