Bachelor of Science (Electronics)

Description of the Programme

Electronics is the branch of science, engineering and technology that deals with electrical circuits involving active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. Electronics is a rapidly changing area and is a major growth industry worldwide. The programme therefore provides a broad-based foundation in current and projected growth areas of electron­ics. It also focuses on the technology dynamics of the industry in embedded systems design and applications. The curriculum is designed to cover major areas of modern electronics, i.e. analog electronic circuits, digital circuits and electronic devices among others. The curriculum also includes topics in electronic communications technologies such as radio and lasers, large-scale integrated electronics systems, and the software that governs the application of this technology. It also covers electrical engineering fundamentals, electronics engineering as well as disciplines related to Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), such as automation control, telecommunications and programming, for comprehensive, solid and well-articulated training. The curriculum emphasizes the design, development, and applications of electronics and telecommunications engineering.  Graduates will be able to develop and use electronic methods and tools to address common electronic problems over a wide spectrum of applications. Students are required to complete an internship in one of the many companies in the electronic sector, so as to acquire specific professional skills.
