Introduction
Engineering is one of the oldest discipline but electrical engineering surfaced quite late. In fact the discipline emerged after the invention of the electronic appliances like telephone, electric telegraph and electric power came into existence.
The Bachelor of Electrical engineering is a branch of an engineering that provides students with the knowledge and understanding of the application of electricity, electromagnetism, and electronics. Throughout the program emphasis is placed on mathematics, physic and different aspects of electrical engineering including energy supply, electronic devices & circuits and telecommunication. Students have option to choose from the elective subjects such as photovoltaic, reliability engineering, alternative power generation, advanced power system, micro-hydro power, rural electrification, electric energy system management, control system components & design etc. The program provides adequate practical components in addition to lectures.
The major objective of this program is to produce the competent electric engineering. Some other objectives include
- Enable students to generate, analyze and interpret data
- Enable students to communicate efficiently
- Enable students to function well in multidisciplinary team
- Enable students to understand and solve the electric-related issues
- Provide a foundation of skills, knowledge and versatility that will last a lifetime
