DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES IN THE DEPARTMENT

The current academic programmes in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering are listed below:

1. Electrical and Electronics Engineering

B.Eng Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Philosophy, Aims and Objectives of the Degree Programme

Philosophy

The general philosophy of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) programme is to produce graduates with high academic and soft skills competence, capable to adequately participate, transform and impact on the Engineering and allied industries in consonance with National and Global community values, including National Policy on Industrialization and Self-Reliance. The programme therefore aims at:

1. exploring the importance of efficient and sustainable solutions for Electrical and Electronics Engineering challenges, such as achieving sustainable electricity generation, secure distribution, and intelligent communication systems;

2. providing ample opportunity for practical application and project work as emphasized throughout the course; and

3. producing EEE graduates of high academic and ethical standards with adequate practical exposure for self-employment as well as being of immediate value to industry and the community in general.

Aims and Objectives of the Degree Programme

The objectives of the programme are, among others, to:

1. Apply knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fundamentals to the solution of Electrical and Electronics Engineering related problems;

2. Design solutions for Electrical and Electronics Engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, environmental and other ethical considerations;

3. Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions;

4. Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern Engineering and IT tools: including prediction and modeling, to complex Engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations;

5. Function effectively both as an individual and as a team member or leader in diverse and in multi-disciplinary settings;

6. Communicate effectively on complex Engineering activities with the Engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, as well as, give and receive clear instructions;

7. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Engineering and Management principles and equally apply them in managing multi-disciplinary projects;

8. Nurture partnership between the institution and industry for effective programme delivery;

9. Create awareness and understanding of the moral, ethical, legal, and professional obligations needed to function as part of a professional enterprise while protecting human health and welfare and the environment in a global society; and

10. Develop entrepreneurial skills and knowledge, in addition to adequate training in human and organisational systems with the spirit of self-reliance so that they can set up their own businesses.

 Basic Admission Requirements and Expected Duration of the Programmes

Admission Requirements

Candidates are admitted into the degree programme in either of the following two ways:

1. Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mode (5 Year Degree Programme)
2. Direct Entry (DE) Mode (4 Year Degree Programme)

 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mode

For the five-year degree propgramme, in addition to acceptable passes in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the minimum admission requirement is credit level passes in Senior School Certificate (SSC) in at least five subjects, which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and other acceptable science subjects at not more than two sittings.

 Direct Entry (DE) Mode

For four-year Direct Entry, in addition to five (5) Senior School Certificate (SSC) credit passes which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, candidates with at least two passes in relevant subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) at the GCE Advanced Level or IJMB or JUPEB may be considered for admission. Candidates who have good National Diploma (ND) result in relevant Engineering Technology programmes may also be considered for admission into 200 level. Holders of upper credit pass and above at Higher National Diploma (HND) level, are eligible for consideration for admission into 300 level.

Minimum duration

The minimum duration of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree programme is five academic sessions for UTME. The minimum duration will be four academic sessions for candidates admitted to the 200 Level
