Electrical and Electronic Systems
Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduates work in a broad and exciting engineering field that includes renewable energy, power generation and distribution, product design, telecommunications, IT, manufacturing, food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, medical, transport, automation, control, building services, petrochemicals and research.
Graduates of Electrical and Electronic Engineering design, specify, supervise and operate complex systems and products based on electrical principles, used in these areas.
Electronic products encompass a range from consumer durable goods, environmental control, ICT installations, automation & robotic systems, transportation systems as well as medical diagnostic & therapeutic, scientific and engineering measurement.
All these products must be carefully designed, manufactured, installed and maintained in an unobtrusive, ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing manner. These products and services must operate in an effective and efficient manner to international standards within a global marketplace. They must satisfy safety and product liability requirements in a manner, which meet client expectations of quality and cost.
Graduates of this course must be able to engage in any of these activities. These are long term functional attributes and not subject to local or short duration economic perturbation.
The aim of this course is, therefore:
Employ an engineering approach to the solution of engineering technology problems.
Identify, formulate, analyse and contribute to the solution of engineering technology problems
Select and apply solutions from a knowledge of engineering sciences and mathematics
Contribute to the design of a component, a system or process to meet specified needs
Design and conduct experiments to analyse and interpret data
Integrate innovation and enterprise in their practice of engineering
Work effectively as an individual, in teams, and in multi-disciplinary settings
Undertake lifelong learning
Communicate effectively with the engineering community and with society at large
Employ high ethical standards in the practice of engineering
Identify the environmental impact of the practice of engineering.
These aims are in conformance with the Institute’s stated policy regarding Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Internationality
