Basic information on the programme

Title of the award                                : Bachelor of Engineering in Power Engineering
Duration and mode of study               : Four years, full time study
The award granting body                    : The Royal University of Bhutan

Aims of the programme
The program is a promising platform for development of technical expertise in Hydro Power Technologies. The four years program is a mould for shaping enthusiastic individuals in theoretical, practical and design aspects of establishing and estimating, commissioning and operating, troubleshooting and enhancing the outcomes of a hydropower stations and explore other renewable opportunities in the country. The broad intention for initiating a B.E. in Power Engineering is to create knowledgeable and skilled work force who can implement and carryout operation and maintenance aspects of power plants, power corporations and industries and address the need for power engineers to contribute to the socio-economic development of the country.

Learning Outcomes of the Programme
Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates will be able to:

  • Plan, design and prepare layout plans for cost effective power electronics and electrification works.
  • Implement software tools such as ETAP, PSCAD, SCADA, MiPower etc. in the power system design, operation and maintenance works.
  • Carry out reconnaissance, feasibility study of hydropower plant and prepare detailed project report of hydro power plant.
  • Carry out distribution planning, load forecasting and illumination level design for domestic, commercial and industrial consumers.
  • Design hardware interfacing circuits comprising PIC microcontrollers programming and construct a useful embedded system.
  • Develop an algorithm for optimal power flow, develop integration of PV cells to the main systems and conducting energy auditing.
  • Analyze and troubleshoot fault that may be encountered in power system networks and industrial electrical system.
  • Demonstrate analytical skills, logical thinking, and communication skills that are necessary for a professional engineer or an entrepreneur.
  • Explore the necessities of water resources and mechanical engineering related to hydropower and alternative energy.
  • Implement safety measure, team dynamism and professional ethics which are the expected aspects of a professional engineer.
