General Description of the Program

The field of Electrical Engineering deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. It covers topics such as industrial and power electronics, electrical and instrumentation design and construction, machine control and automation, operations and maintenance of facilities, power systems operation, economics and protection, industrial and power plant engineering. Electrical Engineering students of FEU Institute of Technology are expected to learn and to experience cutting-edge design software in electrical and power systems design. They will also experience hands-on building design, wiring and installation, motor control design and wiring. With knowledge of electronics, they are expected to excel in the fields of instrumentation, automation and controls design. Reinforced with subjects on engineering and project management, safety engineering, professional ethics and entrepreneurship, the students are trained to be the best and highly sought professionals in the industry.

Program Educational Objectives

Three to five years after graduation, the Electrical Engineering alumni shall have:

1. Engaged in the practice of Electrical Engineering or technopreneurship and innovation.
2. Assumed significant roles with key responsibilities in their workplace.
3. Involved in professional, socio-civic, government, or non-government organizations.
4. Demonstrated continuous professional development through certifications, attendance to training, seminars, and conferences and/or pursuit of graduate studies in engineering or related fields.

Program/Student Outcomes

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Conduct investigations of complex engineering 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.
3. Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
5. Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
6. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
7. 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, and give and receive clear instructions.
8. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solution of complex engineering problems in societal and environmental context.
9. Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change
10. Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.
11. Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering problems with an understanding of the limitations.
12. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
