ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Any qualification that APU accepts as equivalent to the above.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• Be a practicing engineer contributing to the development of Electrical or Electronic Engineering while demonstrating professionalism.
• Pursue engineering innovation via career advancement opportunities and/or advanced studies in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.

An Electrical or Electronic Engineer maybe responsible for research, design, development, manufacturing and management of complex hardware and software systems and reliable, cost effective devices, many involving the use of new information and computer intensive technologies. These include:

PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOMES

The students, upon completion of their study, should attain the following outcomes:

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:

• High-quality undergraduate engineering education by providing students with a curriculum that is firmly grounded in electrical & electronic engineering fundamentals.
• A study in both the areas of electronics fundamentals as well as electrical power systems including the areas of generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy.

Students will understand the basic principles of engineering in the areas of Circuit Analysis, Engineering Materials and Engineering Design. Other modules aim to provide the basic academic skills required to meet the demands of employers, as well as thorough grounding in principles of IT and entrepreneurship. Important and relevant skills for managing activities and for their own independent learning are also introduced.

Here, students start specialising in modules that develop the necessary underlying knowledge and skills in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with modules such as Analogue Electronics, Digital Electronics, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Engineering Software & Applications and Signals and Linear Systems. Engineering Mathematics is provided for the better understanding of the engineering modules.

Specialised knowledge and skills in the areas of Control Engineering, Machine Vision & Intelligence, Communication Engineering Principles, Microprocessor Systems & Embedded Software, Digital Signal Processing, Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Power, and Power Electronics & Drives are the critical focus of this level. There is further development of the ability to apply relevant engineering skills with strong critical thinking and analysis. Independent learning continues in all modules.

Students will undertake an Internship/Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.

The final year Engineering modules provide the necessary industry application and technological skills which become very useful for employment upon graduation. Students’ personal and professional development, technical capability and understanding of how to innovate, generate and manage the creation of new ideas will be enhanced. Students will deliver several Engineering Projects where they will demonstrate higher level critical thinking, analysis and solutions development skills which will enhance their employability.

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING MINOR/EXTENSION PATHWAYS
Future Proof Engineers for the Real World

In APU, employment and it’s continual sustainability is of paramount importance to us. The range of minor and extensions offered to all students within the School of Engineering will craft a formidable way forward for the young aspiring engineers of tomorrow. These options allow students to embark on a journey of exploration either within the engineering fraternity by extending into greater depth (extensions) niche knowledge, skills and attributes required for the practice of contemporary engineering or explore wider options (minor) that are pivotal in the fundamental proliferation of the engineering profession as a while when coupled with other current multidisciplinary fields of expertise. Successful completion of either pathways future proof the students allowing them to embark on a journey of rewarding careers within an engineering discipline of their choice.

Minor Pathway – Gain breadth of knowledge by taking 3 set modules outside of a particular major field of study. There are minor packages available undertaken from Year 3 Semester 2 Year 4 Semester 1 and Year 4 Semester 2.

Extension Pathway – Expand depth of knowledge by taking three (3) set modules in a specific area within a certain field of study. There are extensions available undertaken from Year 3 Semester 2, Year 4 Semester 1 and Year 4 Semester 2.

CAREER OPTIONS

From geographical information systems that can continuously provide the location of a vehicle to giant electric power generators, electrical and electronics engineers are responsible for a wide range of technologies. A degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering offers challenging opportunities over a wide range of activities from research and design to operations, management and planning. Career choices are in diverse areas such as Power Systems, Electrical equipment manufacturing and testing, Biomedical Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering and also as technical experts on engineering projects in the Banking and Finance Industry.
