Abu Dhabi University
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is concerned with electrical and electronic devices and systems essential to contemporary life. It is a rapidly advancing field that has a significant impact on shaping modern societies. Electrical Engineering includes electronic and computer systems, control and electrical power and renewable energy systems, telecommunications, and microelectronics. It is concerned with the way electrical energy is produced and used at homes, communities and the industry. Electrical engineers design and build the systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy. They work with various types of equipment ranging from heavy power generators to tiny computer chips, and their work contributes to almost every sector of the society. For example, they may work on the design of telecommunication systems, the operation of electric power stations, the lighting and wiring of buildings, the design of household appliances or the electrical control of industrial machinery or in designing and fabricating integrated circuits. The B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering program at Abu Dhabi University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
