MODULE OBJECTIVES
Core Modules
Electrotechnology
On completion of the module, students should be able to interpret,
measure and troubleshoot electrical circuits and systems.
Industrial Electronics
On completion of the module, students should be able to interpret,
construct, test and troubleshoot analogue, digital and power
electronic devices and circuits.
Mathematics and Programming Methodology
On completion of the module, students should be able to
apply knowledge of mathematics to solve engineering related
problems involving the use of algebra, indices, logarithms, graphs,
trigonometry and complex numbers. In addition, students would be
trained to write simple computer programs to solve mathematical
and engineering problems.
Electrical Design and CAD
On completion of the module, students should be able to use CAD
software to design and produce electrical drawings and diagrams in
compliance with regulations and codes of practice.
Electrical Installation and Intelligent Control System
On completion of the module, students should be able to install,
control and maintain domestic, commercial, industrial as well as
special electrical installations, electrical motor installations and
building automation systems according to the relevant codes of
practice.
Electrical Machine and Drives
On completion of the module, students should be able to start up,
operate, test and/or control the speed of DC and AC machines
and electrical equipment, explain their construction, principles of
operation, operating characteristics and applications.
Instrumentation and Control Systems
On completion of the module, students should be able to operate
and calibrate process instruments and equipment, implement PLC
projects and control and maintain process control systems.
Electrical Power System
On completion of the module, students should be able to operate
and maintain electrical power systems and equipment, including
power factor correction equipment, motor control centres, electrical
switchboards, protective relays, switchgears, power cables, standby
generators and uninterruptible power supplies.
Project
On completion of the module, students should be able to integrate
and apply a cluster of key technical, social and methodological
competencies in carrying out a project related to their field of study.
Life Skills Modules
Life skills in broad terms are the foundation skills and personal
qualities that an individual can transfer from one job setting to
another to manage and adapt to changes in technology and work
environments.
Electives (Course Specific)
Electrical Measurement
On completion of the module, students should be able to use common
analogue and digital instruments to measure current, voltage,
resistance, speed and frequency; and deploy DC potentiometers
for various applications. They are also trained in the principles of
operation, use and limitations of the equipment.
