During the summer vacation you are employed in engineering practices. The School of Engineering plays an active role in arranging this employment. This professional qualification is recognised in most countries and allows you to pursue their career overseas. These graduates may choose employment with power utilities, mining companies, sugar mills etc. Electronics engineers are employed with telecommunications, consumer products, medical engineering, computer products etc.
Graduates enjoy excellent employment prospects both locally and overseas.
To this end there is a heavy emphasis on practical engineering design which runs through all levels of the program. Level 1 is a common year for all engineering students. You undertake studies in computing, electronics, engineering mechanics, mathematics, and sciences. The course does not assume any prior computing experience. Level 2 develops your background in electrical theory with subjects in signal processing, circuit theory, electrical machines, process control, digital logic, microprocessors and CAD design of printed circuit boards.
