Introduction to ECE Department
Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Power and Water University of Technology) was founded in 1967. Presently, it consists of three departments, including Power Engineering, Computer and Electronics Engineering, and Control and Instrumentation Engineering. 45 faculty members along with 31 expert technicians support the activities of the departments. Most of faculty members are specialist in research activities related to power, control, computer and electrical engineering fields (with a more focus on power and water industries) and also offers many long-term and short-term related courses.
The specialized research activities of the faculty, contribute to the high quality and the reputation of its undergraduate and graduate programs, and improve the success of the graduates. Currently, the faculty has 305 undergraduate and 92 graduate students that study in different fields of study. The faculty includes many laboratories and workshops (as listed in the following), and a research center related to power engineering, computer, electronics, communications, and control engineering, some of those are unique among other universities in the country. A brief list of some ECE Laboratories and Workshops is presented in the following:
