Electricity is considered as a corner stone in building any civilization and in providing the services that encompass the material and spiritual needs of human beings. The share of its individuals from the electric energy measures the progress of societies. This forms the basis of the overall objectives of the department. At the forefront of these objectives is to graduate engineers in the field of electrical Engineering, in accordance with carefully planned curricula that satisfies the developmental requirements of the country. The curricula comprise of an educational program of both theoretical and practical nature amounting to a total of 178 credit hours. In addition, the students are required to undergo field training in corporations and organizations for duration of 8 weeks.

The graduates of the Electrical Engineering Department have chances of working in various fields, such as Power stations, transmission and distribution of electric power networks and electrical installations. Also there exists an increasing demand for electrical engineers in various industries and factories with the technological advances and incorporation of modern systems in the operation and control of industrial processes where the electric drives forms its backbone. Within these fields, the responsibilities of the electrical engineer become diverse to encompass planning, updating, supervision and implementation.

The department of electrical Engg. consists of the following groups:
1- Power systems group
2- Electrical machines and control group.

The department is planning to commence a Master Degree Program from next year in  power system specialization. The department has the following laboratories:
1- Electrical measurement lab.
2- Principles of Electrical Engg. lab.
3- Electrical Machines lab.
4- Power systems lab.
