The Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering aims to provide its students with high quality education in the theory and practice of electrical engineering. The profession requires that its engineers be able to apply the principles of physical sciences, economics and environmental concerns in the design, implementation and operation processes in which materials change their state, composition and/or energy content.

The intent of the course is, therefore, to equip students with the necessary skills to conduct research, and to develop, design and analyze electrical processes and equipment. The graduates of the B.Eng. (Elec) course will also be able to deliver products efficiently and safely within market specifications, with minimum environmental impact. The B.Eng. (Elec) course of study also seeks to provide cost-effective practice-oriented Engineering Education that targets the industrial needs and opportunities in traditional and emerging electrical engineering arena.
