BSc.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering program gives graduates the theoretical foundation, critical thinking, and practical skills to analyse problems in an Industry 4.0 environment. Students will get a grounding in core areas of the discipline, while exploring the sub-themes of power and energy systems, and signals and communication systems.

More generally, students will develop a strong ethical posture with a strong sense of responsibility, and an innovation-oriented, problem-solving mindset toward addressing Africa’s electrical energy, communications, control, and electronics challenges.
