Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering is a profession that involves conceptualization, development, design and application of safe, healthy, ethical, economical and sustainable generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy for the benefit of society and the environment through the knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences, information technology and other allied sciences, gained by study, research and practice.

Electrical Engineering is one of the broader fields of the engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve these problems.

a) Apply knowledge of mathematics and sciences to solve complex engineering problems;

b) Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data;
c) Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, in accordance with standards;

d) Function effectively on multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams that establish goals, plan tasks, and meet deadlines; (based on PQF Level 6 descriptor)

e) Identify, formulate and solve complex problems in electrical engineering;

f) Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering practice;

g) Communicate effectively with a range of audiences;

h) Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context;

i) Recognize the need for additional knowledge and engage in lifelong learning:

j) Articulate and discuss the latest developments in the field of electrical engineering; (PQF Level 6 descriptor)

k) Apply techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for electrical engineering practice; and

1) Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles as a member and/or leader in a team to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
