The discipline of electrical technology typically embraces electrical energy production and distribution, electrical motors and generators, power electronics. Electrical Technology is important to industrialize as well as developing countries like Pakistan, which is suffering from worst shortages of electrical power. The course is delivered through formal lectures, seminars, extensive practical work. This programme provides a broad introduction to the key topics associated with electrical technology, such as the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power as well as the electrical devices connected to such systems including generators, motors and transformers. Although much of the field is concerned with the problems of three-phase AC power - the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world, a significant fraction of the field is concerned with the conversion between AC and DC power as well as the development of specialized power systems such as those used in aircraft or for electric railway networks. This program stresses an understanding of power plant operations and technologies, equipment and systems maintenance, health, safety, and environmental issues. The Instrumentation and Control option prepares students to service power plant control devices. This program provides sound practical and technical knowledge and skills to persons desiring to enter the electrical power engineering field. The program is consists of lectures, demonstrations, presentations and exercises that provide practical working knowledge of power systems. Electrical Technology graduates typically get work in heating plants, the oil and gas, cement, fertilizer and paper industry, and the power generation industry.
