POWERING THE FUTURE OF OPEN LEARNING

INTERNATIONAL HIGH VOLTAGE SYMBOL

Electrical Engineering is usually referred to as Power Electrical Engineering or Heavy-current Electrical Engineering. This Department is concerned with the study of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy in the most economical and environmentally friendly ways.Because of the progressive nature of technology and Engineering, there is a lot of overlapping of disciplines between Electrical Engineering and Electronic engineering.

Department vision and mission
Even though the department is not vested to confer degrees or diplomas, it holds dear the right of learning and research. Course content that is developed is rich enough to guide students on the path of becoming an Electrical Engineer. Furthermore, the material is a resource that practicing Electrical Engineers are able to refer to from time to time.

Michael Faraday

Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. Some historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science. The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs).

"Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature, and in such things as these, experiment is the best test of such consistency."
