Welcome from the Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering
Dear Visitors,
On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, I would like to welcome you to the website of The Department of Electrical Engineering at Qatar University. The department is proud of its achievements over the years in research, teaching, and community services.
The Department of Electrical Engineering is an energetic and proud member of The College of Engineering. It has provided to society high-quality teaching, research, and other services that match its mission. Our graduates are a testimony to the quality of our programs’ outcomes. Our highly ranked Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Program provides well-developed background and strong engineering skills that allow its graduates to be greatly valued in both private and governmental organizations. A good number of these graduates maintain high and leading positions in the industry. The quality of our graduate programs and research activities are also visible with the multimillion-dollar grants from various research funding agencies, leading to a great number of highly cited publications and great technological innovations.
In response to the changing world and the new Industry 4.0 challenges, the Electrical Engineering Department, in collaboration with the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department, Computer Science and Engineering Department at Qatar University acknowledge that this industrial revolution has created an essential need to offer a distinct multi- and inter-disciplinary undergraduate program in the field of smart systems, automation, and instrumentation. The current thrusts for offering multi-disciplinary programs coupled with the QU’s unique leadership role in the educational sector suggest that it is the right time for Qatar University to offer a distinct multi-disciplinary undergraduate program in Mechatronics Engineering. This Mechatronics Engineering Program has been approved and is available for students to join now.
The department and all its members are committed to the continuous improvement of our programs. Please look through our department’s home page to learn more about us. I hope you will find the site helpful and enjoyable.
