BSc Electronics Engineering

Objectives and contents

The BSc in Electronics Engineering (BSc ELE) is a four (4) years undergraduate programme. The programme is intended to train students in Electronics Science and Engineering and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to design, implement, manage and maintain Electronics Engineering systems. Each academic year is organized into two (2) semesters each of fifteen (15) instruction weeks and two (2) examinations weeks. The programme is made of a number of courses from the following areas: Communication skills, Mathematics, Development studies, Scientific Research Methods, Electronics science, Electronics engineering, Communication engineering, Professional ethics, Entrepreneurship, Human Resource Management and Computer science.  Specifically, the programme aims to:

1. To equip students with the fundamental and advanced concepts of Electronics Engineering technologies and the application of these concepts to advance the state of technology and to meet the needs of the electronics industry.
   
   
2. To enable students to develop appropriate electronics analytical models based on given specifications.
   
   
3. To enable students to design, implement, test, and use measurement equipment for electronic systems based on given specifications.
   
   
4. To enable students to make effective use of key electronics test and measurement equipment.
   
   
5. To enable students to demonstrate scientific research skills.
   
   
6. To enable students to demonstrate effective verbal and written communication skills in making an audio/visual/written presentation to convey a body of technical information in a coordinated and comprehensive manner.
   
   
7. To enable students to demonstrate effective leadership and decision-making skills.
