FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering

Duration of Course: 4 Years

Modern day heroes! They are into power generation, electrical systems, circuits, radio transmitters, computers, transistors, software development, microchips, avionics and artificial intelligence systems.

This exciting profession stands at the forefront of life changing innovation like facebook, the www, mobile phones, media players, lasers and computers. Our graduates are highly sought after by major employers and post graduate and professional schools in South Africa – two thumbs up!

Electrical Engineers are mostly involved with the generation, management, distribution, design, manufacturing, application and maintenance of electrical and power generation systems.

Electronic Engineers are involved in the testing, development, transmission and signal processing of data and the application of these in information and management systems. It also includes the design and manufacturing of components and circuits for amplifiers, radio transmitters, computers, transistors, integrated circuits, microwaves, super conductors and the prevention of noise in electronic objects.

Computer Engineers are mostly involved with the development of software for micro electronic circuits. These are used in computer systems, which in turn have a wide application in all the branches of electric, electronic and computer engineering. Microchips and super electronic systems form the basis of most electric and electronic devices in the industry, consumer market, the medical field, telecommunication, process management, power distribution systems, transport systems, avionics and specialised applications like artificial intelligence systems.
