The Electrical Engineering program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in Electrical Engineering through lectures and laboratory work. Graduates are prepared for responsible engineering positions in design, development, research, applications, and operation in all fields related to Electrical Engineering. The curriculum is built around strong basic courses in mathematics, physics and engineering science. This is followed by a set of core courses covering the breadth of the program, such as circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, digital logic, signals and systems, control, microprocessors, electric energy conversion, power systems, and computer programming. The Electrical Engineering undergraduate program in the College of Engineering at the United Arab Emirates University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
