Course Overview

About Course

 

Mode of Study: Full Time (Yes) | Part Time (No)

This syllabus has been designed to meet the requirements of professional bodies and industries while giving students the competitive edge. Emphasis is on the application of knowledge through teamwork, case studies, simulations and real-life projects.

The curricula for this Bachelor of Electrical Power Engineering (Hons) programme requires a strong foundation in mathematics, physics and computer. The courses include topics such as electrical circuit analysis, electronics, digital system, microprocessor, electromagnetic fields, electrical machines and drives, power systems, power electronics and high voltage technology. Laboratory sessions reinforce the principles learnt in the classroom, which include electrical measurement techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital logic design, signal processing, microprocessor, electrical machines and power electronics. Many engineering courses are classified as design courses and complemented by computer aided engineering software as simulation and design tools.

During the final year, you may choose technical electives according to your area of interest. The final year project courses provide opportunities for you to apply the engineering principles, experience of current technology as well as learning the methodology of research.

The programme consists of 138 credit hours of subjects, taught in 8 semesters. This Bachelor of Electrical Power Engineering (Hons) programme can be completed in 4 years.
