About the Department
INTRODUCTION
In the most general sense, Electrical (Automation and control) engineering endeavour the problem which compels a system to the desired situation via appropriate software and hardware. Several problems that occur as a result ofthe rapid increase in production with the rapidly developing technology after the industrial revolution impel people to seek new ways from which more can be obtained. The utilization of the information resulting from the research in industry and other production systems has led to an emerging new branch of engineering," Control and Automation Engineering". Control and Automation engineering is a branch of engineering which develops and implements information and technology providing electrical, electronic, mechanical, and computer-based all industrial systems to work intended and planned manner. Control Engineering Program provides training and conducts research in the subjects "automatic control theory and its applications, industrial automation, measurement and instrumentation, robotics, design and implementation of computer-based industrial information systems".
The department offers a four-year (8 Semesters) program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Electrical (automation and control) engineering. It provides formal education in Automation and Control Engineering through teaching, experimental work and industrial attachment to prepare students for careers as educators, engineers as well as scientists. The graduates can be hired for technical and supervisory positions in the private, and public sector, industries of the country as well as abroad.
Vision
Fostering excellence in automation and control engineering Education for sustainable development and industrial growth with solutions at the national and international levels.
Mission
To provide students of Electrical (Automation and control)Engineering with sound technical knowledge and practical skills of relevance to the contemporary industry, together with the spirit of teamwork, ability to communicate effectively and inculcate professional ethics leading to a successful career with lifelong learning.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The program aims at imparting quality education to Electrical (Automation and Control) Engineering graduates for contributing to the society through modern technologies and practices in line with SDGs especially Goal-1, Goal-2, Goal-3, Goal-4, Goal-5, Goal-6, Goal-7, Goal-8, Goal-9, Goal-10, Goal-11 and Goal-12. The four program educational objectives (PEOs) are as given below, from the basis of the Department of Electrical (Automation & Control) Engineering at QUEST. Within fewyears of graduation, the students with Bachelors in Electrical (Automation and Control) Engineering are expected to attain the following:
1. Demonstrate the knowledge of electrical engineering as well as modern research tools for clear understanding of the core domains.
2. Provide cost viable solutions of fundamental engineering and technical problems for socioeconomic and sustainable development.
3. Manifest professional conduct of ethical values along with interpersonal skills to perform and grow effectively in their career as a team leader or as an individual.
4. Effectively enhancetheir professional development and technical knowledge through persistent learning.
