Program Benefits
The student can be guided by the proposed curriculum and individually draw up his/her personal curriculum, taking into account the requirements of the subjects. To complete a bachelor's project in the last year of study, the student chooses a topic of thesis from the proposed areas. The bachelor's project is carried out in groups, which contributes to the development of filed knowledge and teamwork skills. The program provides for an optional course internship, which will help the student, if necessary, to better formulate himself when choosing a topic for a bachelor's project.
Career Possibilities
Electrical engineers can find opportunities in a wide range of industries, each with its own specific challenges and requirements. Here's an overview of their potential roles in various sectors:
- Automotive Industry: Electrical engineers in this sector work on components such as:
- Engine and power units
- Interior and exterior lighting
- Air conditioning and safety systems
- Seating controls (movement, heating, and cooling)
- Start/stop technology, braking systems, infotainment systems Additionally, they play a key role in the development of autonomous, connected, and electrified (ACE) vehicles.
- Built Environment Industry: Engineers in this field work on large infrastructure projects like hospitals, office buildings, shopping malls, airports, and railway stations. Their responsibilities include designing:
- Electrical power and emergency power systems
- Communication systems, fire alarms, security, CCTV, and lighting They often take on responsibilities for integrating different technical disciplines to meet client needs.
- Defense Industry: In the defense sector, electrical engineers are involved in:
- Electrical power and network architecture
- Hardware and software optimization
- Designing and testing complex products to ensure they function in air, sea, or land environments Activities may include fault diagnosis, technology assessment, simulation, modeling, and data analysis.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Engineers in the oil and gas industry work on:
- Designing, developing, and maintaining electrical systems, including generators, transformers, and motors
- Ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency in extreme conditions (depth, temperature, pressure)
- Involving both small alterations and large-scale equipment changes.
- Power Generation Industry: Electrical engineers in power generation are responsible for:
- Designing, building, and maintaining plant equipment like switchgear, generators, transformers, motors, and cables
- Managing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), UPS (uninterrupted power supply), and lighting systems.
- Rail Industry: In the rail sector, electrical engineers focus on:
- Signaling, power, point heating, and lighting
- Writing specifications for power distribution systems, reviewing designs, and responding to technical queries
- On-site maintenance, testing equipment, and replacing components.
Each of these industries requires electrical engineers to apply their technical expertise to design, optimize, and maintain systems that are integral to the smooth operation and safety of each sector.
