About this program
This program provides qualified graduates with a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of electrical power engineering as well as a broader set of professional skills and exposure to other technical disciplines.
The degree is awarded after the successful completion of 132 credit hours of undergraduate work including a compulsory industrial internship and Capstone project. Other than the core Electrical Power Engineering component, there are 2 concentrations;
Electrical Power Engineering has two concentrations:
- Energy Systems Engineering
- Control and Instrumentation Engineering
Career Opportunities
Placements are available in various private and government sectors in the fields of electrical power generation, distribution, oil and gas, defense and aviation. There is a strong demand for electrical power engineers in different ministries, private companies and other multinational contracting and consulting organisations.
The program offers a number of possible career options in electrical power generation, distribution, energy management and utilisation. Attractive career opportunities also exist in development, design and production in industry.
