Electrical Engineering

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

The programme has been designed with the following objectives:

1. To produce graduates who can apply a broad knowledge of mathematics, science, and computer engineering to engineering problems

2. To produce graduates who are able to practice electrical engineering to serve government agencies, or national, regional and international industries.

3. To produce graduates with the necessary background and technical skills to work professionally in one or more of the following areas: electrical generation, transmission and distribution, electrical installation, industrial systems and control systems; and can easily adapt to changes in engineering, technology, and society

4. To prepare graduates for personal and professional success with awareness and commitment to their ethical and social responsibilities, both as individuals and in team environments, able to communicate effectively and can work well with others

5. To prepare graduates who are capable of entering and succeeding in an advanced study program either at Diploma or degree level in a field such as engineering, science, or business.

Diploma Programme

For a student to be admitted into the Diploma in Electrical Power Engineering, he/she should certify one of the following minimum requirements.

• The student must be a holder of a minimum of 2 principles passes in A-levels with mathematics as one of them.
• The student must be a holder of a minimum of 2 principles passes in A-levels with credit passes in O-Level mathematics as well
• The student must successfully complete the engineering foundation programme having entered it with credit O-level passes in mathematics.

Certificate Programme

For a student to be admitted into the Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering, he/she should certify one of the following minimum requirements.

• The student must be a holder of a minimum of 2 principles passes in A-levels.
• The student must have passed O-level with at least credit passes in English and mathematics.
• The student must successfully complete the foundation programme having entered it with credit O-level passes in English and mathematics.

CURRICULUM STRUCTURE:

In the first year of studies, students study the foundational material in basic mathematics, communication skills and engineering science. In the second year, students study advanced courses that impart the skills required for execution of engineering solutions.
