1 Introduction
The Faculty of Engineering was established in 1983 offering the opportunity to pursue an engineering education
with a strong theoretical background and significant hands-on laboratory experience. It consists of four
departments, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering. The four
departments operate BSc degree courses.
Department of Electrical Engineering was established in 1984. It has three domains of electrical engineering:
power and machines, communication and electronics and control and computer engineering.
When the degree was being established, a number of similar Departments in the region were visited. In
addition, IEE requirements for engineering curricula were taken as an external reference point
It will be found useful information in this manual: the answers to the most basic questions concerning the study
in the department.
2 Aims
The main aims of the Department are to graduate students who could:
1. effectively use science, mathematics, and engineering concepts necessary for successful engineering
careers.
2. adapt to and influence the future technological environment in respect to industrial and global changes.
3. communicate effectively, work in teams, and provide leadership.
4. be aware of the ethical, social, and environmental impact of their professional actions.
5. succeed in advanced study including graduate school, self-study, and industrial short courses.
6. have the ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice.
3 Offered Specializations
According to the curriculum of the Engineering Faculty every student enrolled has to spend a period of five
years, the first year is preparatory (orientation year) in which all the enrolled students study common general
subjects that are necessary to be accepted in any department in the Faculty. After students finish the preparatory
year successfully they can join any department of their choice (i.e., Electrical, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering) in
which the student has to spend four years before they are award the BSc.
The electrical Engineering offers three different undergraduate specializations: Computer and Control
Engineering, Electrical Power Systems and machines Engineering, and Communication and Electronics Engineering.
Within the Electrical Engineering department all the enrolled spend two years in which they study Common subjects
related to the three different majors. Completing the two years successfully the student joins any specialization
he/she likes.

4.2 Course Numbering
The three digits of the number denoting a course will be used with the following criteria.
1. The first digit will correspond to the level at which the course is offered.
2. The second digit will be usually used to identify different areas within the department as follows:
3.
Circuits
Machines & Drives
IT
Communications
Control
Electronics
Power
Computer

4. The last digit denotes sequence numbers of courses within the specific area
For example, the course EE211 is interpreted as follows:
EE – Electrical Engineering Course
2 – Course is offered in the third year (Medium Level)
1 – Course is in the area of electrical Machines & Drives
1 – Course sequence number within the area of electrical machines and drive
4.3 Determination of The Credit Hours (C)
One lecture (L) hour per week per semester is assigned to one credit.
Two tutorial (T) hours per week per semester are assigned to one credit. However, if it is less than two
hours no credit is given.
Two practical (P) hours per week per semester are assigned to one credit. However, if it is less than three
hours no credit is given.
The following information provides a succinct outline of the main curriculum elements and at which level they
are taught. It provides a background context for the sections of the main Programme Specification (part B) that
follow.
