![]() ![]() In circuits and electronics, courses provide study of basic electrical devices–energy sources, resistors, inductors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors – and their interconnection in operational networks. Therefore, the Department’s programmes aim to contribute effectively and sufficiently to the knowledge-based economy by putting in place the curriculum that exposes students to the breadth of electrical engineering and allows them to pursue electives in several areas including circuits, electronics, power systems, communications, signal processing, controls, electromagnetics, optic/devices, and computer engineering. Electrical and Electronic Engineering, as the backbone of a knowledge-based economy, is highly dynamic and versatile. The philosophy of the programs in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is derived from AFIT Commandant’s Vision, “To transform AFIT into a word class institution and first choice for the study of Aerospace and Defense Engineering related programs. They are primarily concerned with the processes of generation, transmission, transformation, control, and utilization of energy or information. They contribute to systems and devices for power, instrumentation, measurement, communication, management, manufacturing, transportation, etc. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAMME IN THE DEPARTMENTĮlectrical and Electronic engineers are involved in channeling natural resources into various end-uses such as heating, lighting, home appliances, consumer products, computing, sensing, control, and communication. As a result, the first three years, that is, 100, 200, 300 levels, are 100% common to the other Engineering programmes offered in the Faculty of Ground and Communications Engineering. At 400 level, students embark on SIWES (Students Industrial Experience Scheme) which involves six months of industrial training, starting immediately after the First Semester. The long vacation of eight weeks between the 200 level and 300 levels is devoted to SWEP (Students’ Work Experience Programme) in the different works and production centres of the Institute (e.g., Wood mill, batching plant, metal fabrication workshop, bakery, CLMT, construction sites, etc.). Nine semesters of coursework and laboratory practical’s are spent in the Institute. Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering is a 5-year or ten semester degree programme. ![]() The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was among the first departments approved by AFIT governing Council and NUC in 2018/2019 academic session. ![]()
