MS Electrical Engineering-GCU Lahore

Course name:
MS Electrical Engineering

Course Overview: Embedded systems, robots and computer numerical controlled machines are rapidly replacing conventional domestic and industry equipment and appliances. Even a modern automobile has got built-in microcontrollers for optimum control and fault diagnostics. The design and development of these applications requires sound knowledge in areas like Mechatronics and Control Engineering, Computer Engineering and Electronic Engineering. The implementation of LTE and other emerging advanced wireless and broadband technologies, which opened new horizons and has created the applications of telecommunications in areas like security and surveillance, medicine and education world over, is still awaited in Pakistan. The primary reason for this loss, apart from law and order situation, is the comparatively higher cost of the projects because of unavailability of telecom R&D sector in Pakistan. This deficiency can only be met with by producing professional telecommunication engineers of high caliber in the country.
