INTRODUCTION
 Electrical Engineering has grown exponentially in terms of new technologies, ideas, principles and applications. It  is  concerned  with  understanding, designing, implementing and using systems,ranging in complexity from simple electronic components, via integrated 
circuits and embedded systems to large scale semi?continental power systems and information networks as vast as the internet
This intellectually challenging subject underpins the core technologies of the 21st century, and can be a route to many different career paths. 
The boundaries of Electrical Engineering extend from basic physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, 
computer science, to applied subjects in power systems, telecommunications, industrial automation, biotechnology etc. 
 
 It is a multidisciplinary subject, with a unique role to play as a bridge between basic sciences, applied sciences and technological disciplines. 
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAMME
 The recent past has been characterized by economic liberalization leading to broadening and diversifying the demand for graduates in the field of Electrical Engineering
There is an upsurge in the private sector leading to creation of new jobs that require specialized graduates. 
In order to satisfy this demand, the Department of Electrical Engineering has revised its curricula to address 
this emerging issue and therefore attract more students. 
Thecurriculum was developed with the involvement of many stake holders following a top-down approach,i.e. identifying the projected 
on-job requirements after graduation and then organizing them in hierarchical manner with fundamentals at the beginning level and becoming 
 more application oriented and advanced for subsequent years. At the same time, the suggested syllabi is at par, in content and scope, 
with Electrical engineering syllabi of various contemporary leading institutions across the globe.
 
 The revised curriculum provides sound theoretical approaches to the various Electrical and Electronics engineering disciplines
supplemented by hands-on laboratories and computer skills to apply the theoretical knowledge to practical engineering problems. 
Additional practical training components such as Workshop Practice in the first year and Industrial Training in the recess terms 
of the second and third years of study introduce students to actual field practice. 
The program is conducted through coursework and examinations. At the fourth year of study, students are prepared to do independent supervised  study in the area of their  choice.
 Students can enroll for the programme with the intention of achieving the qualification of a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSC.EE).
  
OBJECTIVES AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES 
 
 The primary focus of this programme is to produce entrepreneurship oriented graduates who are capable of propping up new companies, out of theprototypes that they will have developed at 
 the undergraduate level. This demands that the final year projects should benchmark world class 
 standards, capable of leading to Electrical Engineering incubations. 
Educational Objectives
  
 The educational objectives of this programme are to: 
 
 (a) Produce graduates who are able to practice electrical engineering to serve Uganda and the 
 regional industries, government agencies, or national and international industries. 
 (b) Produce graduates with the necessary background and technical skills to work professionally in one or more of the following  areas:  Power  systems  generation,  transmission  and distribution, industrial  electronics,  renewable  energy  solutions,  system  integration, 
 electronic design automation. 
 (c) Prepare graduates for personal and professional success with awareness and commitment to their
  ethical and social responsibilities, both as individuals and in team environments. 
 (d) Prepare graduates who are capable of entering  and succeeding in an advanced degree  
 program in a field such as engineering, science and business
 
 Program Outcomes
  
 The outcomes for the computer engineering program are: 
 
 (a) To Understand - to understand fundamentals of devices, electrical and electronic circuits, 
 electronic  design automation,and mathematics, and how these are used in electrical and 
 electronic systems.  An understanding that engineering knowledge should be applied in an ethically
  responsible manner for the good of society. 
 (b) To Question -  to critically evaluate alternate assumptions, approaches, procedures, tradeoffs, 
 and results related to engineering problems. 
 (c) To  Design  -  to  design  and  implement  electrical  and  electronic  systems  power  systems, 
 industrial electronic systems and renewable energy systems. 
 (d) To Lead - to lead a small team of student engineers performing a laboratory exercise or design  
 project;  to  participate  in  the  various  roles  in  a team and understand how  they contribute to accomplishing the task at hand. 
 (e) To Communicate - to use written and oral communications to document work and present 
 project results.
