Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at ACEM follows the engineering academic structure prescribed by Tribhuvan University through the Institute of Engineering.
Electrical engineering in this curriculum is built around the generation, transmission, distribution, control, measurement, conversion, and application of electrical energy. Students also study computing, electronics, digital systems, instrumentation, automation, electrical machines, and engineering management alongside the main power-engineering subjects.
The curriculum develops in stages. The first year establishes scientific and engineering foundations. The second year moves into machines, measurements, power-system analysis, control, and microprocessors. The third year introduces power electronics, protection, automation, drives, distribution, and machine design. The final year brings together power plants, system operation, high-voltage study, transmission-system design, electives, professional study, internship, and major project work.
ACEM delivers the program through its Department of Electrical Engineering, with foundational academic support also connected with the Department of Applied Sciences.
The program may suit students who want to study electrical circuits, machines, power systems, automation, industrial electrical systems, energy conversion, and related engineering subjects in a structured university program.
The curriculum requires regular work with mathematics, circuit analysis, technical calculations, laboratory exercises, programming, instrumentation, design, and project-based study. Students also encounter subjects that connect electrical engineering with electronics, computing, control, economics, management, and professional practice.
Someone considering this degree should therefore expect a combination of theoretical analysis and applied engineering work rather than a course focused only on electrical wiring or installation.
