Electrical engineering is concerned with electrical and electronic devices and systems essential to contemporary life. It is a challenging and rapidly advancing field that has a significant impact on shaping modern societies.
Electrical Engineering includes electronic and computer systems, control and electrical power systems, and telecommunications. It is concerned with the way electrical energy is produced and used at homes, communities and the industry.
Electrical engineers design and build the systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy. They work with various types of equipment ranging from heavy power generators to tiny computer chips, and their work contributes to almost every sector of the society. For example, they may work on the design of telecommunication systems, the operation of electric power stations, the lighting and wiring of buildings, the design of household appliances or the electrical control of industrial machinery.
The Electrical Engineering program at ADU has been developed according to the standards of international professional bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET). This ensures that graduates of the program will be uniquely qualified to design, analyze, and test wide-ranging solutions for state-of-the-art electrical and electronic systems.
