The electrical engineering curriculum is designed to teach fundamental physical sciences, as well as the more practical areas of design and operation of industrial control systems, communications systems, electronic circuits, and the generation and distribution of electrical power.
The Diploma in Electrical Technology consists of the fundamentals of circuit theory, control systems, instrumentation, and telecommunications, thus preparing the student for positions covering broad employment areas in electrical engineering, such as the electrical power industry, the communications industry, and industrial electronics.
The Degree Program in Electrical Engineering extends the graduate technologists' capabilities into more advanced conceptual and design phases of engineering. This is accomplished through a series of core and elective courses, engineering design, and a major project which enables the student to emphasize a particular area, such as computer applications, communications networks, industrial control or electrical power distribution.
