Preamble:

In the age of AI, the world is changing like never before. Rapid transformation into the technological landscape will impact the overall job scenario of the entire world. The field of electrical and electronic engineering will be one of the most important job sectors that will sustain and thrive involving chip design, power system installation and maintenance, EV production and innovation, IoT and automation system development, etc. Also, electrical engineers can expand their careers in any other engineering field with ease and require minimum adaptation. In Bangladesh and abroad, Job fields in power are rapidly increasing through constant innovation, investments, and policy adaptation for environmental sustainability. EEE Department of Presidency University has a legacy of being one of the pioneer departments since 2003 where many reputed professors in the fields have been a part of. We have alumni working in local industries and abroad, many securing higher studies in well-known universities worldwide beholding the fame of the institute. In recent years, the EEE department has been going through a transformation to address future opportunities in the field with the most contemporary curriculum, professional certification state-of-the-art lab development, and research initiatives. The EEE family of the Presidency University is growing and you all are welcome to be a part of it.

3. *About the Department*: A brief history, key achievements, faculty highlights, and unique aspects that set our department apart.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is rapidly approaching in the modern world, necessitating an understanding of cutting-edge electrical and electronic engineering technology. Graduates ought to pick up the skills necessary to be ready for the workforce. To meet the demand, The B.Sc. program in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Presidency University is designed to give students a foundation in both the fundamental sciences and this area of engineering. Additionally, the program offers enough general education to support a student's cultural development and produce professionals with a keen social consciousness. Senior year is when elective courses are first offered. When choosing their courses, students must adhere to the department's design, breadth, and depth of requirements. The program also provides sufficient general education to enhance the cultural growth of a student leading to professionals with strong social awareness. Elective courses are introduced in senior year. Students must meet the design, depth, and breadth of requirements of the department in their selection of the courses. The requirements of achieving 4IR are also met by taking courses in other core areas, or courses in emerging technologies. The design requirement is met through a capstone design project and internship/research/entrepreneurship of ten credit hours in the fourth year. The depth requirement is met by taking a minimum of three courses (9 credit hours) from four core areas of Communication and Signal Processing, Electronics, Power System Engineering, and Hardware and Software Systems.

4. *Career Prospects*: Information on the career opportunities available to graduates, including potential career paths, industries, etc.
