Social Welfare Minor

Engineering with Empathy, Technology with Purpose

🌍 The Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) at World University of Bangladesh believes that true engineering excellence must serve society. Beyond circuits and systems, our students engage in meaningful social welfare initiatives that address energy poverty, digital inclusion, and community development.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration, technical outreach, and ethical leadership, EEE students apply their skills to uplift underserved communities — ensuring that technological progress benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.

🎯 Social Engagement Objectives

Energy for All

Promote access to clean, affordable electricity in off-grid and rural communities through solar microgrids and energy-efficient solutions.

Digital Inclusion

Bridge the digital divide by providing basic electronics training, internet literacy, and device repair services to underprivileged youth.

Ethical Engineering Practice

Instill a strong sense of social responsibility, sustainability, and human-centered design in every engineering project.

Community-Led Innovation

Empower local communities to co-create technological solutions that address their unique challenges in energy, education, and healthcare.

Why Social Welfare Matters in Electrical Engineering

Engineering is not just about efficiency and innovation — it’s about equity and impact. In a country where millions still lack reliable electricity and digital access, EEE professionals have a moral duty to serve. Our students learn to:

  • Design solar-powered systems for schools and clinics in remote areas
  • Develop low-cost assistive devices for persons with disabilities
  • Organize “Tech for All” workshops to teach basic electronics and coding
  • Partner with NGOs to bring smart metering and energy monitoring to slum communities
  • Advocate for sustainable e-waste management and green electronics
