1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
ahir Dar University is found in Bahir Dar Town, the capital of the Amhara National
Regional State. The area within which Bahir Dar is situated is endowed with immense
scenic beauty and outstanding natural and cultural wealth. The immense natural
beauty and outstanding cultural and natural resources of the area have contributed to the
emergence of the town of Bahir Dar as the political center of the region. Today Bahir Dar is
one of the fastest growing towns in the country.
The establishment of Bahir Dar University owes a lot to two former higher institutions. The
Bahir Dar polytechnic Institute, which formed one of the faculties of the University, was
established in 1963 under the technical cooperation between the then Government of USSR
and the Imperial Government of Ethiopia. The objective of the institute was to train skilled
technicians in the fields of Electrical Technology, Agro- Mechanics, Industrial chemistry and
Metal, Textile and wood Technologies. The institute had to undergo number of program
changes within the area of technology until the commencement of the Engineering degree
program in 1996. Throughout these program changes, the institute did all what it could to
supply the labor market with the best technicians who are now running most of the
businesses in the industrial, educational, agricultural and other sectors.
The other fraternal institution of higher learning called Bahir Dar Teachers College was
established more than three decades ago. The two fraternal institutions of higher learning
were integrated and formed Bahir Dar University following the Council of Ministers
regulation no. 60/1999. The University was inaugurated on May 6, 2000 having the
following vision and mission.

Considering the stated vision and mission in its establishment, the polytechnic Institute and
Bahir Dar Teachers College, were renamed Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Education,
respectively. Currently the Faculty of Engineering comprises nine departments, Electrical
and Computer Engineering Department is among the one. The Electrical and Computer
Engineering department is one of the departments established by the former USSR in 1963.
In 1996 the department launched the degree program. The department graduated more
than 1000 graduates with B.Sc. degree. The department has gained the necessary
experience to offer higher level engineering training program over these 10 years and it is
the right time to upgrade the Department to a Graduate program offering status.

ENGINEERING FACULTY

As per the standard norms of any university, a Department which has completed 10 years
of successful completion of offering undergraduate programs will be eligible to get
upgraded to a Graduate programs offering status. Also, as of recent years, the academic
and industrial community has expressed the requirement of graduate of different
specializations in Electrical and communication Engineering with innovative skills to take
part in the country’s academic, economic and industrial development. It is believed that this
new graduate programs will address the acute shortage of higher level academic staff and
higher level engineering administrative staffs.

1.3 RATIONALE
The objective of Electrical and Computer Engineering Education up to now was to educate trainable,
broad based Electrical, Communication and Computer engineers who can fit in the different
applications areas of Electrical engineering after given on job training for about a year. This has been
realized through the under-graduate curriculum both earlier and in the new revised curriculum.
The undergraduate program of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department produces Electrical
and Computer engineers who have broad knowledge through its five year programs. This training
gives the students such a broad background that they can fit in different sections of engineering field
such as power generation and transmission, communication, instrumentation, computer system and
networks installation and maintenance etc.
But with the rapid development of power and communication sector and the expansion of both public
and private engineering institutions in the country, deeper knowledge of various branches of
Electrical and Computer engineering is required along with other disciplines to play a leading role in
the technological development of a country. Therefore, as a step towards meeting this demand, the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering would like to elevate the level of training to
M.Sc to produce required Electrical and Computer engineers in the field of power, communication,
and control and instrumentation engineering who will have specialized knowledge in these fields.
The requirement for engineers who can engage themselves in academic and industrial sector in fields
such as research, development and engineering administration is also being felt. But currently the
graduate programs in Electrical and Computer engineering are being offered only at Addis Ababa
University. As of now the undergraduate programs in Electrical and Computer engineering is offered
at the following Ethiopian universities.

• Arbaminch University
• Bahir dar University
• Jimma University
• Mekele University
• Adama University
The number of Electrical and Computer engineering graduates graduating from all Universities per
annum is expected to rise to above 1000 shortly. Although not supported by statistical data, it can be
generally stated that hundreds of Ethiopians are trained in Electrical and Computer engineering in
Eastern Europe, Cuba and India. Number of Electrical and Computer engineers went abroad for
specialization after obtaining B.Sc. and obtained M.Sc. and Ph.D. Degree because of not having that
opportunity at Ethiopia.
With the increasing number of graduates in Electrical and Computer engineering, it is becoming
inevitable that many shall be seeking higher education at graduate and research level. In addition
many practicing engineers and teaching staff in the ranks of Graduate Assistants and Assistant
Lecturers at the various Universities are seeking for admission into Graduate Programs.
