What is Electrical Engineering?

Electrical Engineering is a broad and creative profession concerned with the design, development, planning and management of systems and devices which underpin modern economies and contribute to the quality of life. An electrical engineer may be responsible for research, design,
development, manufacturing and management of complex hardware and software systems and reliable cost effective devices, many involving the
use of new information and computer intensive technologies. There is a flexible common first year for all BE degrees in the Faculty of Engineering except Software Engineering and Bioinformatics. This will allow students to select electives in first year and later years of the program. A typical program sequence is shown below:
