Aims:

The programme is intended to qualify students to begin a professional career in the field of Electrical Engineering as engineers or to pursue further advanced post-graduate studies at the level of Masters or Doctorate degrees. The major engineering courses of the Bachelor's programme contain, apart from theory and fundamental principles, elements of analysis and design, as well as significant laboratory work.

Objectives:

The graduate of this programme should:

Have a fundamental understanding of a broad spectrum of topics in Electrical Engineering;

Have advanced knowledge and in-depth understanding of at least one of the specialization areas of Electrical Engineering;

Have a firm grasp of the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, and possibly chemistry as a foundation for further post-graduate studies;

Be able to communicate technical ideas effectively through both oral presentations and written reports;

Have developed independent thinking and problem solving skills to tackle real-world Electrical Engineering problems;

Have extensive hands-on laboratory experience in designing hardware and software solutions to challenging real-world problems in Electrical Engineering;

Have acquired an interdisciplinary fundamental knowledge for a more fulfilling and rewarding career;

Have adequate software programming skills that are needed in the process of analysis and design of electrical engineering problem solutions;

Be a well-rounded individual that is knowledgeable of fields outside of science and engineering including business, and liberal arts;

Be well prepared for either an entry-level job in Electrical Engineering or further studies toward an advanced post-graduate Masters and/or Doctorate degree.
