The degree program is designed for completion within four academic years. Each academic year has 2 semesters of 15 week duration and a long vacation of about 14 weeks. During a single semester, a student can enroll up to 24 credits of courses being offered. The courses are organized at five different levels indicated by the course numbers in 100, 200, 300, 400 (based on academic year) and 500 series (elective courses).

The UG program is separated into two stages: General Program (GP) in Engineering covering 100 level courses and the Specialization Program in Engineering covering the courses 200 level and above. The General Program is common to all the students entering the Faculty of Engineering. At the end of the GP, students are streamed into specializations based on their academic performance and their personal preferences. Electrical and Electronic Engineering is one of the most sought after disciplines among the students for many years. In both the General and Specialization programs have courses with contributions to (i) Mathematics, Basic sciences and Computing, (ii) Engineering Sciences & Engineering Design: Projects, and (iii) Complementary Studies: Management, Engineering economics, Communications, Humanities & Social sciences, and Engineering ethics.

In the Specialization Program, theory and practice are developed further through lectures, experiments, designs and project work. Subjects in areas such as electrical measurements, electronics, electrical power, telecommunications, systems & control, electrical machines, power systems, embedded systems, digital systems, and programming are taught as core courses throughout the program. Laboratory work consisting of practical and experimental studies, design work, relating to the main engineering subjects are undertaken in small groups. For more details of the course structure in EE Specialization program see below.

Industrial training is given to all undergraduates after their 4th and 6th semesters (end of second and third year levels) in general and specialized field of study. However, in line with the objectives of the Department Career Guidance program, that is to motivate the DEEE students to decide the career path as early as possible, the department encourage the students to select Industrial Training according to their intended area of focus as the initial step of their career planning process. The total duration of the industrial training is 24 weeks (6 Credits). The industrial training is a compulsory part in engineering degree program and completion of the industrial training to the satisfaction of the faculty is a requirement for the successful completion of the final course in engineering. If any student who fails to attend the required standards in the industrial training program, he/she will be required to undergo further training to be eligible for the award of the degree of Bachelor of the Science of Engineering. The final grade of the industrial training component is included in the academic transcript as well. Read more ...

Credit Requirement of the EEE Specialization

Course Structure for the Specialization in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The department provides basic courses for all engineering undergraduates on the principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, in appropriate depth, to acquire essential fundamentals, and also it offers several advanced courses to the specializing students. Appropriate selection of technical electives that are available from within the above six subspecialisations, backed by the undergraduate research project and industrial training engagements, pave the way for the students of electrical and electronic engineering to specialize in one of the above subdisciplines. More importantly, the curriculum of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering study program has been designed in a flexible way that, students can obtain a major specialization in one of the above areas while obtaining a minor specialization in another area selected out of the same six sub-disciplines mentioned above.

Recommended Technical Elective Courses
for the Specialization in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

In the Electrical and Electronic Engineering specialization program, there are 6 sub specializations identified by the department as mentioned above. The recommended Technical Elective courses under the sub-specializations: Artificial Intelligence and Signal Processing (AISP), Biomedical Engineering (BME), Communication and Information Engineering (CIE), Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (EI), Power High Voltage and Energy Systems Engineering (PHE), and Control, Robotics and Automation Engineering (RCA), are listed below.

Recommended General Elective Courses
for the Specialization in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Technical Elective courses allow the students to learn to a great depth in specialized areas of interest while General Electives (Complimentary Subjects or GE) enable them to gain a broader perspective of their role as professionals. GE courses are coordinated by the Engineering Education Unit (EEU) of the Faculty of Engineering. Some course details can be found here. The Department recommend the following minimum requirement for the general electives:

⮚  EF530: Engineering Management AND at least 5 more credits should be taken from the modules defined under the category Management, Economics & Law of the following table

⮚  At least 2 credits should be taken from the modules defined under the category Arts/Humanities of the following table

⮚  At least 2 credits should be taken from the modules defined under the category Politics/Social Sciences of the following table
