Engineering is the branch of science and technology to find the problem and solve the problem. Engineering concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures. Traditionally, engineering is only about infrastructure, building bridges and engines – machines – vehicles. In Latin, ingenium means cleverness andingeniare means create. I got emails from +2 students asking if I could help them to figure out which course to study for their bachelor, and here I am with all the Engineering programs in Nepal. This article is about Bachelor of Engineering in Nepal.

What is Bachelor’s Degree?

A bachelor’s is a post-secondary undergraduate degree. Historically, the term “college degree” meant a bachelor’s or traditional four-year degree. Undergraduate is also called as first degree, bachelor’s degree or simply degree. It is the first degree in the university level. It typically takes four years of full-time study to complete your bachelor’s degree. There will be about 40+ courses of total 120 credits. Some Bachelor’s Degree in Nepal are:

• Bachelor of Arts (BA )
• Bachelor of Science (BSc.)
• Bachelor of Engineering (BE)
• Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)

All the Engineering program mentioned above are available in Nepal. Those first 3 – 4 programs are available in all of the University with engineering program, whereas other are available only on some university or even in only one college.

University Colleges(Constituent College): These colleges are the colleges with in the university. These are controlled by university or institutes of university.

Affiliated Colleges: is an educational institution that operates independently, but also has a formal collaborative agreement with a university. The university have control or influence over its academic policies, standards and programs.

Universities with Engineering Program in Nepal

Every University should have different Syllabus for the program. Ie. one university should not use syllabus from some other universities. But for same program the internal Curriculum are similar, as every program are for same purposes. Here are the universities from Nepal providing the Engineering program. We only list them here as we will go through every program and mention which university provides that program.

• Tribhuwan University (TU)
• Pokhara University (PU)
• Kathmandu University (KU)
• Purbanchal University (PuU)
• Mid Western University (MWU)
• Far-western University (FWU)

These Universities from Nepal provides several Engineering programs.

Pokhara University takes Entrance exam for Scholarship and constituent college. And all other affiliated colleges conduct their own Entrance exam for admitting students in their college.

All candidates willing to study in the undergraduate programs of School of Science and School of Engineering shall appear in the Kathmandu University Common Admission Test (KUCAT-CBT).

Civil Engineering in Nepal

Civil Engineering is one of the oldest and most popular engineering program. This program is available on all the universities of nepal providing Engineering programs. Civil Engineering is about design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure for civilization, which include buildings, bridges, road design.

They have large range of job opportunities from small building to large projects. Most engineers in Nepal are civil engineers.

Mechanical Engineering in Nepal

Mechanical Engineering is about design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering programs usually include courses in mathematics and life and physical sciences, as well as engineering and design.

It is one of the broadest engineering fields. Mechanical engineers design and oversee the manufacture of many products ranging from medical devices to new batteries. Nepal being developing countries need is a great deal of Mechanical Engineer.

Computer Engineering in Nepal

Computer engineering is the branch of engineering that integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences. Computer engineers design and develop computer systems and other technological devices.

Computer Engineering focus in hardware and software analysis, design and development of Computer System. Knowing IT is integrated to almost all engineering sectors, one can always find scope of computer engineering.

Electrical & Electronics Engineering

Electrical Engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Aerospace, automotive, energy, IT and telecommunications are just some of the many sectors you can work in with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering

Electronics & Communication Engineering

Electronics & Communication Engineering deals with the electronic devices, circuits, communication equipments like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC). All of the applications which make our life easier and enjoyable such as Television, Radio, Computers, Mobiles etc. are designed and developed by Electronics and Communication Engineers.

Information Technology in Nepal

IT section is one of the growing section in technical field. Every departments uses IT for their internal and communication work. IT utilizes existing operating systems, software and applications in tandem to create a larger system that solves a specific business problem. IT students will study network and database design in depth, and receive an introduction to basic theory and applied mathematics.

Architecture Engineering

Also known as building engineering. Architectural engineers are those who work with other engineers (Civil) and architects for the designing and construction of buildings. They must possess a talent in creative design and arts as architecture is a blend of engineering and arts.
