Introduction
Electrical & Electronics have always been one of the important engineering disciplines within the engineering society. Electrical & Electronics contribution are not limited to areas with applications such as telecommunication, computer, and power transmission but also extended into areas of applications such as in manufacturing, medical, information technology and many more. Unlike other engineering discipline, Electrical & Electronics is very dynamics and sensitive to technological advancement in the world. In fact, most of technological revolution starts from Electrical and Electronics.
The Electrical & Electronic engineers are involved in the design and development of modern high technology applications, for instance, an automated system for an electromechanical system, a computer system, an embedded system, or an electronic control system applied in process plants, automotive, aerospace, and even building service. In other words, Electrical & Electronic engineers are highly demanded in engineering field, directly or indirectly. Thus, graduate in this Electrical & Electronic would be highly sought after by potential employers.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Electrical & Electronic Engineering programme at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS emphasises a strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and chemistry, followed by a thorough coverage of basic electrical and electronic engineering courses such as circuit theory, analogue electronics, digital electronics, microprocessor, and signal & systems. At higher levels, students are exposed to data and computer networking, digital signal processing, VLSI system design, control theory, communication systems, and power electronics. At the final year, students have the opportunity to major in one of these selected areas of their interest:
- Microelectronics
- Power Systems Engineering
- Communication Systems
- Instrumentation and Control
- Embedded Systems
| | Programme Outcomes
At the end of the programme, the graduates should be able to:
- Apply mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering principles in problem identification, formulation and solution in relation to practical situations.
- Acquire and apply in-depth and current technical knowledge and practices in Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
- Utilize systems approach to design and evaluate operational performance and ensure sustainable development.
