1. Background of the Faculty

Introduction
The Faculty of Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering was established in the
year 2010 to generate highly qualified professionals and technical manpower in the
field of Electrical power, and Telecommunication Engineering for the Nation as a whole.
It has now taught students in Electrical Engineering focus on Telecommunication
Engineering and Electrical Power Engineering.
Visions of the Faculty
Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering Faculty shall become a model Faculty in
the country which emphasizes economic development and Faculty-enterprise
cooperation, and model for excellence in teaching- learning and applied research to play
a leading role in building of the nation.
Missions of the Faculty
To produce professional Electrical engineers with up-to-date engineering

knowledge & skills, and high aspirations to excellence, poverty alleviation and
leadership.
To conduct and foster creative research by addressing the needs of industry,

government and the scientific community.

4. Structure of the Curriculum

The structure of the program for the five studies is shown in the diagram below.
The pre assessment semester is intended to consolidate the students' educational
background for higher learning and further help them to adapt to the system.
In the five consecutive semesters, after the common assessment semester, all the
students take courses mainly in the core electrical engineering category. This provides
them with a broad background for all areas of electrical and electronic engineering.
At the end of third year (end of 6th semesters), students are given the opportunity to
focus on one of the areas namely: Telecommunication Engineering, and Electrical
Power Engineering as shown in the flowchart.
5. Degree Nomenclature
After successful completion of all the requirements a student graduating from the
Electrical Engineering program in one of the respective stream areas will be entitled to
earn a degree in:
Bachelor of Science Degree in Telecommunication Engineering
Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Power Engineering
6. Course Numbering
The format of the course code EE-xyz indicates:
EE- Shows the owner Faculty of the course, in this case electrical engineering
x the academic year of the program
Y the semester ; one for first and two for second semester
