ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING OVERVIEW
Electrical Engineering is a broad engineering discipline which integrates mathematical and scientific principles of electricity and magnetism
to analyze electrical phenomena and to design electrical systems. The Electrical Engineering program prepares students for a wide-range of
careers involving design and implementation of electrical systems.
In the Electrical Engineering program, students first take five fundamental courses in electrical circuits, electronics, electrical signals and
systems, and electromagnetic effects before choosing elective courses of interest or specialize in a particular area of electrical engineering.
These specialization areas include electronics, communication systems, control systems, and power systems. The program requires students
to complete a senior level design course which provides experience in integrating and applying many engineering concepts and designing
innovative systems.
Our courses are supported by modern lab facilities in analog and digital electronics, automotive electronics, control systems, Electrical
circuits, electrical machines, high-voltage measurements, semiconductor devices and very large scale integrated (VLSI) systems.
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The Electrical Engineering program is designed to provide its graduates a solid educational foundation on which they can build successful
and sustainable careers in electrical engineering or a related field. In particular, all graduates of the Electrical Engineering program will
have:
• an ability to analyze and design basic electrical, electronic and digital systems
• the necessary interpersonal and communication skills to be productive members in a team work environment
• an insight into contemporary issues and their implications to engineering practice
• the skills, confidence and experience to enable them to assume positions of technical and/or managerial leadership in
their career paths
• an awareness of ethical and professional responsibilities
• a strong background and motivation to pursue life-long learning.
