Electronic and Intelligent Systems Engineering (EISE Program)
Engineering is entering a defining era shaped by intelligent systems that can sense, learn, and act in complex real-world environments, transforming fields from telecommunications to biomedical and energy systems. This shift demands more than standalone AI—it requires engineers who can integrate intelligence with electronics, communications, power, and control to build reliable, real-world solutions. In response, this Honours Engineering Degree is designed to develop such engineers through a rigorous, hands-on curriculum that progressively builds the ability to design and realize advanced intelligent systems. Grounded in over seventy years of academic excellence in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Peradeniya and supported by modern laboratories and facilities, the program prepares graduates to excel at the forefront of global industry and research.
Areas of Sub-Specialization (EEE Program)
DEEE provides students (following BScEngHons in Electrical and Electronic Engineering) with Core course modules, Technical electives, Projects, and other facilities to enable them to specialize in one or more of the following six sub-areas or disciplines under the hood of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The selection of the sub-discipline can be based on the student’s passion or on matching his/her skill set, and should be aligned with his/her career planning process.
