Please note that the department of EEE is planning to offer the following course (with Lab) in the Fall-2025 trimester. Upon the approval of this course in the Academic Council meeting next month it will appear in UCAM. We are happy to offer this course in the newly designed Embedded System Lab. This is a unique lab, first time in Bangladesh, where there are 25 tables and each student gets a complete experimental setup. Thus, students will learn hands-on skills in a much better way. We hope that this course will be immensely beneficial to our students to better prepare themselves for the 4th/5th industrial revolution.
