Bachelor of Science in Electrical & Electronics Engineering

The Bachelor of Sciences in Electrical & Electronics Engineering curriculum is designed to comply with local education framework and benchmarked with international institutions. It includes at least 30 credits in basic sciences and mathematics, at least 62 credits engineering sciences and engineering design and communications skills, and at least 9 credits of humanities and social sciences excluding language and technical writing courses. Lab hands-on experience and emphasis on practical aspects are important elements that are integrated throughout the curriculum. It is designed to grant students the Bachelor of Sciences degree upon the successful completion of the four-year program.

The program is also offered in Diploma Degree as Electrical and Computer Engineering upon the successful completion of a two-year program. The first common year with other college majors allows students to switch between the majors at the same college at the start of the second year of their study.
