Electrical
Engineering is a broad field that includes various mixes of subjects of power
systems, electronics, control system, protection system and lots more. The
emerging technologies demand diverse study on contents but the major head is
under Electrical Engineering.
Electrical
Engineers provide energy solutions to light our homes; design, analyze and optimize
wireless communication devices and networks that revolutionize the way we live
(e.g. cellular phones, wireless networks, GPS, electronic commerce, smart
rooms); advance underwater communication technologies for monitoring/sensing
oceanic environmental changes; design smart software radio systems and
networking protocols to facilitate ubiquitous terra-bit volume multimedia
communications; develop biomedical devices and instrumentation to saves lives;
use nanotechnology to produce better, faster, brighter, and stronger materials
for solar cells and sensing devices; design the technology that enables
customized multimedia entertainment; advance new green technologies that will
power our future while protecting the environment. Electrical engineers can be
found in almost all sectors of the work force, including research and
development, product design, manufacturing, operations, service, technical
sales, marketing, consulting, education, and policy making.
Engineering
designs are a team effort and require good communication skills, both oral and
written. Therefore it is important that each student develops these necessary
communication skills. The benefit of having an education in electrical
engineering is that the student is prepared for a career not only in technical
areas but also for further training in other disciplines such as medicine, law,
public policy, business, economics, management, and teaching.
The
Diploma offered by the Department is the Diploma in Electrical Engineering. The
program provides the scope of knowledge and training needed for employment and
also forms the basis for further study at the undergraduate level.
