Department of Electrical Engineering


» Synopsis:
The Electrical and Electronics Engineering program offered by the International University of Science and Technology (IUST) combines the analysis and design of electrical and electronic circuits, mechanisms for automated control of processes, communication systems, signal processing and electrical power generation and delivery.

As a matter of fact, the integration of modern theoretical science with practical applications lies in the heart of today's ever-evolving and ever-advancing technology, particularly when it comes to Electrical Engineering. At the same time, Electrical Engineers are involved in all areas of today’s Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

The rapid and revolutionary advancements in these technologies - such as the Internet, mobile communication, high performance computers, power plants, renewable energy and robotics – was, in its major part, based on and geared by applied electrical and electronics engineering principles. Therefore, a modern Electrical and Electronics Engineering curriculum should be thoroughly grounded in the founding theories of electrical engineering, while being dynamic and flexible enough to accommodate the continuous and rapid changes and developments of the current technologies and the introduction and advent of new ones.

The curriculum offered by the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is intended to teach sound engineering principles that enrich and deepen students' knowledge of and skills within the context of a dramatically evolving work environment. This is done through emphasis on and hands-on training in practical problem solving, design capability, and laboratory work including selected team projects. The department enjoys a degree of freedom and flexibility in selecting its 'Department Elective Courses" that cover different areas of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in accordance with emerging needs and demands.

» Goals and Objectives:

Upon successful completion of the B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), it is anticipated that the students will be able to:

1. Apply the theoretical knowledge they gained of Mathematics, Science, and Engineering into sound professional practice in electrical and electronic engineering environment.

2. Design and conduct experiments to analyze and interpret data related to EEE.

3. Formulate a system, a component or a process that meets desired needs.

4. Identify, analyze and solve electrical engineering problems.

5. Function in multi-disciplinary teams or independently.

6. Gain an insight into and understanding of their professional and ethical responsibility, as well as their anticipated tasks, duties and services to be rendered to society.

7. Communicate effectively in both Arabic and English.

8. Appreciate the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.

9. Recognize the need for, and engage into life-long learning and personal and career development.

10. Comprehend and understand contemporary engineering issues.

11. Use the necessary techniques, skills and modern engineering tools into engineering practice.
