BS Electrical Engineering

Program Description

The Electrical Engineering program deals with the study and use of technology and applied science involving electrical phenomena. It involves the application of the basic theories in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of electrical apparatuses and systems as they are used in the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electrical energy for various commercial, industrial, and other purposes. It also includes courses in power electronics, industrial automation, principles of communications, electromagnetics, entrepreneurship, with actual extensive use of computer applications in power systems such as load flow, short circuits, and dynamic solutions, to name a few.

It is important that the student builds a good foundation in the areas of mathematics and physical science. It is oriented towards the understanding of the basic theory and concepts needed for entry into any of the many activities in the profession including but not limited to design, operations and management, teaching, sales, and consulting

Laboratory experience is emphasized to provide familiarity with electrical, electronic, and computing equipment and with experimental techniques. Modern tools and laboratory equipment are available for electrical and electronic circuits, machines, power systems, and computer applications.

Program Mode of Delivery of Instruction​

  1. Blended Program - The Blended program was designed for the student who wishes to have face-to-face teaching or a mix of face-to-face and online teaching/learning activities (TLAs) in some or all of his/her courses.

  2. UOx (Fully Online) Program – The UOx or fully online program was designed for the student who wishes “anywhere anytime” education or who totally does not wish to be constrained by geography and time in the teaching/learning activities throughout the duration of his/her period of study. For a program to be “anywhere anytime”, the teaching/learning activities (TLAs) of all courses must be asynchronous, where learning does not require real-time interaction. Instead, content and coursework are available online for students to access at a time that best suits their schedules. The only time consideration in this mode of program delivery is in the deadlines of submission of assessment tasks and in the school academic calendar.
