Overview
The Department of Electrical Engineering at National College of Engineering (NCE) was established in 2009 AD, building upon the institution’s strong tradition of engineering education since 2001 AD. The department offers a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering program with an annual intake capacity of 48 students. The program combines strong academic foundations with practical and field-visit-based learning, preparing graduates with technical expertise, professional competence, and innovative mindset needed to address contemporary challenges in the electrical engineering profession.

LecturerElectrical Club at NCE
Electrical Club at NCE serves as the primary student-led body dedicated to extracurricular and technical development for electrical engineering students. It bridges the gap between the formal IOE curriculum and the practical, rapidly evolving energy industry in Nepal.
Core Objectives & Activities
The club focuses on fostering a community where students can experiment beyond the classroom. Their main activities include:
- Technical Workshops: Hands-on training on industry-standard tools like MATLAB, AutoCAD (Electrical), and PLC programming.
- Skill Development: Organizing sessions on house wiring, transformer maintenance, and basic electronics repair to provide job-ready skills.
- “Energetic” Events: Hosting technical fests, including electrical-themed quizzes, project exhibitions, and circuit design competitions.
Field Visit Coordination
While the department handles formal visits, the club often facilitates informal site visits to local substations and hydropower plants to give juniors practical industry exposure.
