Program Description

Electrical and Electronics Engineering teaches you how to design, build, test, and maintain electrical systems and electronic devices that power homes, industries, communications, and automation. You will study core subjects such as circuit theory, digital electronics, electromagnetics, power systems, microcontrollers, programming, and instrumentation. The program combines classroom theory with hands on lab work and project design. Graduates can work as electrical or electronics engineers, automation or control engineers, telecommunications technicians, maintenance engineers, or pursue software and IT roles in embedded systems. This pathway opens opportunities in Ghana's power sector, telecoms, manufacturing, and renewable energy, and provides a strong foundation for higher study and innovation. Aim high, practise regularly, and build projects to stand out.

Aims & Objectives

1

Develop practical circuit design and testing skills by completing laboratory projects and functional prototypes.

2

Master microcontroller programming to build embedded control systems, demonstrated by working projects using Arduino or similar boards.

3

Understand power systems and electrical machines, measured by the ability to analyse and solve supply and load problems.

4

Create clear technical documentation and project reports that meet industry standards, verified by assessed assignments and presentations.

Why Choose This Program?

Strong job demand

Ghana needs engineers in power, telecoms, manufacturing, and renewable energy, giving graduates many employment pathways.

Hands on learning

Lab sessions, workshops, and capstone projects build practical skills employers value, not just theory.

Cross disciplinary opportunities
