Electrical and electronic engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It is a broad and dynamic field that plays a crucial role in today's modern technology-driven world.
HOD’s address
The overarching philosophy of the department is to develop national capacity in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, with the goal of transforming the country from a third world and developing nation into an advanced and developed nation. This transformation is envisioned through the development of highly skilled human capital in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Over the years, our great institute has produced numerous graduates. They’ve found employment in various sectors in Nigeria and abroad. Many of them have achieved significant milestones in their respective fields, particularly in Power Systems, Machines, Control, Telecommunication, Oil and Gas, Banking and Finance, Computer, and Manufacturing Industries. Some graduates have also pursued careers in academia. Overall, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering aims to provide a robust education and training to its students, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to contribute to the advancement of the field and the development of the nation.
Job opportunities in ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
