Electrical Engineering

Program Overview

Electrical Engineering is a field that deals with the study of electricity, electronics, electromagnetism, energy & its allied applications. Electricity and its applications play a pivotal role in powering many devices and appliances. The impact of electrical Engineering touches almost every area of our lives. Electrical Engineering at its core is concerned.

The program is aimed at providing a solid foundation in Electrical Engineering education to students aspiring to become an electrical engineer. This part qualification is aimed primarily at giving the learner technical, theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge and workplace knowledge and skills required in their chosen occupational/vocational area.

The design of the part qualification is such that if taken sequentially with related N part courses i.e. N4+N5+N6, it enables learners to progressively obtain the National N Diploma once the required practical work component of either 18 months or two years, as required for the specific occupational area, is completed.
