BA/BS in Electrical Engineering

This programme builds the knowledge and skills needed to operate, produce and design electrical equipment and power control systems, alongside an understanding of the business environment surrounding electrical engineering. Study moves from physics, mathematics, engineering graphics and general chemistry through circuit analysis, electrical materials and measurements to automatic control, microcontrollers, electrical drives, analogue and digital signal processing, and the design of electrical power converters. Later subjects cover the dynamics of electric power systems, relay protection, automation, high-voltage engineering and digital information systems for the electricity sector. Each module is completed through an exam or other assessment, with classroom, laboratory and individual study leading to a final degree project and its defence. Graduates can define, formulate and solve electrical engineering problems, plan and run experiments on electrical equipment, and weigh the economic and social consequences of their technical decisions.
