Program Objectives and Goal
The increasing needs for electrical and electronic engineers in worldwide job markets need not to be overemphasized. To keep pace with the advancement in electrical and electronic engineering and provide emphasis in fulfilling the needs, it is essential that efforts are made both in the public and private sectors to develop human resources in this particular field in Bangladesh.
- The prime objective in establishing the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department at the European University of Bangladesh is to make a concerted effort towards achieving the goal to provide quality education of 4 years duration at the undergraduate level.
- To give undergraduate programs’ students a rigorous and comprehensive academic training on both the fundamental and advanced aspects of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE).
- To make provisions for research and development and dissemination of knowledge in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
A student in EEE must not only have a sound basis in the fundamental of Engineering but also should be aware of socio-economic problems of the country. Therefore, courses in science, humanities, economics and management are also included in the curricula. The last two semesters will offer the students a number of alternatives to choose from and to specialize in a particular field. Theory and sessional work shall be supplemented by Project/Thesis work, seminars and visits to relevant research and industrial organization..
Duration of the Program:
The duration for B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering program will be four years divided into 12 semesters.
Credit-hour
Three credit hours are assigned to a theory course i.e. there are three hours lecture in a week. A class period for theory courses will have a minimum duration of 50 minutes.
One credit of lab course will have a minimum of 24 -hours of actual lab works per semester and each lab class will have a minimum duration of 2 -hours.
Degree Requirement
a) Completion of mimimum144 credit hours.
b) Passing of all courses individually and maintaining a minimum CGPA of 2.50.
Admission
Requirement for admission into the EEE program

9. Grading System
Letter grading will be made to assess students’ performance. The grade will be assigned on the overall evaluation of a student’s performance on the basis of semester final examination, midterm exam., case studies, tutorial test, term papers, assignment and class attendance in aggregate and whatever is applicable for an individual program. The teachers responsible for the course will determine Grades/GPA. The final result will be prepared by cumulating the grade point average over the courses. The UGC approved common grading system is adopted for assigning a letter grade and grade point. This is given in the following table:
|

| F *Failure; I ** Incomplete; W ***Withdrawal; R****Repeat; Y***** Audit | ||||
| * | “F” means failure. Credits for courses with this grade do not apply towards graduation. | |||
| ** | “I” grade is given to students who have fulfilled the majority of the course requirements but have been unable to complete the rest. The student is not required to register for the course in the next semester. | |||
| *** | “W” means withdrawal. A student may decide to withdraw from a course by the deadline with the consent of the instructor and the Academic Advisor. | |||
| **** | “R” means repeat. To improve grade say, F to D or better, more than two times repetition of a course is allowed. | |||
| ***** | “Y” means audit. An existing student or ex-student may decide to audit a course of his/her interest for improvement of his knowledge for the particular course. In this case, the student pays the full tuition fee for the course, attends the classes, but is not required to sit for the exams and no credit is earned. | |||
# Subject in which the student gets ‘F’ grades will not be counted towards credit hours requirements and for the calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)

Evaluation of performance in assignments/quizzes will be on the basis of the best n+1assignments/quizzes. The scheme of continuous assessment that a particular teacher wishes to follow for a course will be announced on the first day of classes.
Minimum Earned Credit and GPA Requirement for Obtaining Degree
Minimum credit hour requirements for the award of bachelor’s degree in engineering (B.Sc. Engineering) and other discipline will be decided as per existing rules.

The undergraduate students of different years of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering have to follow the course schedule given below.
Course Types
The courses included in the undergraduate curricula are divided into the following groups:
a). Core Courses
In EEE discipline, a number of courses are identified as core courses, which form the nucleus of the respective bachelor’s degree program. A student has to complete the entire designated core courses of his/her discipline.
b). Prerequisite Courses
Some of the core courses are identified as prerequisite courses for a specific subject. A prerequisite course is one, which is required to be completed before some other course(s) can be taken.
