Electrical & Electronics Engineering

 

Bachelor of Science in Electrical & Electronics Engineering

The main objective of this programme 1. Is to develop the students’ knowledge of the theory and practice of electronics and telecommunication engineering necessary for them to secure employment as professional electronic engineers in a wide variety of industries.
And to produce graduates who are able to take up higher studies and research in electronics and telecommunication engineering in internationally recognized institutions of higher learning.
The main aims of this programme 2
Is to equip students with an understanding of the principles of electrical engineering, some aspects of which will be informed by current engineering practice necessary for them to secure employment as professional electrical engineers in a wide variety of industries.

Furthermore, the graduates from the programmes are well trained in entrepreneurial skills which will make them to be good nucleus (seed) for establishing more spin-off enterprises in their respective areas of Engineering.
Finally the students are also motivated and trained for self-employment.
