Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering was established in 2054 in Pashchimanchal Campus, Pokhara-16, Lamachaur with an aim of producing qualified electronics overseers who can serve at different private and government organizations. The Intermediate in Engineering (IE) program was a 3-years program with an intake of 48 seats all being subsidized. Later on IE in computer engineering was introduced to meet the requirement of computer overseer manpower deficit in different organizations.

Electronics, Communication and Information Engineering:

With the enhancement in academic manpower and technical infrastructure, the Bachelor degree program was introduced in 2062 with an intake of 48 students (12 = Regular; 36 = Full Fee) . This course was a four-year program comprising of eight semesters where more than 50 different courses were offered which comprised of both core and elective courses. The course is split into Lecture, Laboratory works and tutorial sessions. Nevertheless, field visits are also emphasized wherever necessary. The department is focused in development of student knowledge from every sphere. Seminars, workshops, guest lectures from experts are often scheduled besides regular classes to enhance the knowledge of students. Based on the curriculum developed by the Institute of Engineering (IOE), academic activities are conducted.

Exams are conducted according to the academic calendar prepared by the governing body. The course has been upgraded and it is renowned as Electronics Communication and Information Engineering. The motto behind upgradation is to offer two main branches:

  • Electronics and Communication Engineering
  • Information Technology

The course aims to provide knowledge of Electronics, Computer Software and Information Technology.

This course has wide scope in fields of Electronics, Communication and Information technology. It covers various fields like wireless communication, satellite communication, internet telephony, nanotechnology, teleconferencing, embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, optical computing, display technology, remote sensing, advanced processors, robotics, speech recognition, speech processing, microwave communication and so on.

Career in Electronics and Communication and Information Engineering:

The scope can be classified on two levels i.e local and global. Within the nation, electronics, communication and information engineers can work as:

  5. Some other sectors where Electronics, Communication and Information engineers can groom well are VLSI design, nanotechnology, Digital Image Processing system, network communication, optics and photonics and so on.

Computer Engineering:

Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering offers 4-years Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering. This course was introduced in Pashchimanchal Campus in 2069 BS with the aim of producing qualified manpower in the field of computer engineering. The intake for this course is 48 seats (12 = Regular; 36 = Full Fee). At least 10% of total seat is reserved for female students. The course is comprised of lecture, practical session and tutorial works. More than 50 subjects are broadly classified into core and elective type based on their depth. In order to enroll into this course, students have to compete in national level entrance examination conducted by the Institute of Engineering (IoE) annually and secure good marks sufficient enough to grab a seat for this course at Pashchimanchal Campus. Selection is done on merit basis.

The department has academically sound and qualified teaching faculties, and non-teaching staffs who are devoted to provide the knowledge at its best to the students based on the syllabus and current technologies. The course covers lecture, practical works and tutorial sessions.
