Electrical engineering deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. It also deals with the design, operation and protection, maintenance and economics of electrical systems, with emphasis on ethical values to harness economically and safely the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of society and the environment.
The Department, as its continuing objective, provides the students with the necessary training, technical support facility and guidance to help them complete their degrees. With the combination of technical education and “hands-on” experience in an industry internship program, the students will graduate both well educated and trained, and are assured of a productive life as UE College students.
Program Educational Objective of the Electrical Engineering Program (PEO)
STUDENT OUTCOMES
The graduates of Electrical Engineering program will be able to do the following:
THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM
The Electrical Engineering curriculum is designed to develop engineers equipped with the knowledge in mathematics, natural and physical sciences, and engineering fundamentals. The language courses, social sciences and humanities were included to ensure that the eventual graduates would understand their important role in society. The course of Electrical Engineering in the curriculum covers generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. It deals with the design, operation, and protection, maintenance and economics of electrical systems and guidance of the ethical standard of practice and proper values.
The curriculum is so designed to enhance teaching and learning activities, encourage critical thinking, and develop creative leaders. The core and major courses of the curriculum teach and equip student with the necessary tools for solving problems in the field of Electrical Engineering.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The graduates of Electrical Engineering may go into the following career opportunities:
THE LABORATORY
The laboratory equipment in the Electrical Engineering Department provides the necessary in-depth experience and training of students in electrical, electronic and computing equipment as well as experimental techniques and skills in the use of modern laboratories.
The Uni-train 1 equipment of Lucas-Nulle provides a powerful experiment and training platform of computer-based vocational and further professional training in the area of Electrical Engineering. It combines theory and practice to give highly efficient and effective learning environment with multimedia diversity.
The power Electronics and Drive System Technology of Lucas-Nulle is also a computer-based and practice-oriented training system that is modular in construction. The power electronics module provides a technology of switching and converting high levels of electrical power. It performs experiments ranging from the use of power diodes, thyristors and IGBTs; And with the use of digital controller, integrates the system into process control technology and allows excellent visualization of the degree of precision.
The Drive System echnology module gives primary training in electronics and mechatronic technology. It develops skills needed by the technicians and engineers in handling electrical machines and acquire know-how regarding their design, function, connection, connection configurations, characteristics and, in particular, their response to different loads.
The PowerLab Training System of Feedback Instruments, a practice-oriented training system, allows the study and investigation of the properties of DC and single-phase and three-phase AC machines and generators. Included in the training system are the single-and three-phase transformer training modules for industrial applications.
