Electronic Engineering has an overwhelming influence on all facets of human endeavours and is designed to host the required knowledge and expertise necessary for the acquisition and husbanding of control, instrumentation, computer and Electronic Technologies.
The course in Electronic Engineering (ECE) is designed to produce graduates with sufficient academic grounding and basic design skills and industrial experience that will enable them fit into any area of Electronic Engineering practice from product design and development to maintenance and research.

The department intends to offer a five-year programme for UME entrance candidates and a four-year programme for direct entry candidates both leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Engineering.
The first two years of the five year programme is common to all Engineering programmes and cover the basic sciences and introductory courses in various branches of engineering. Though it is intended that computer programming Languages would be stressed within the first two years. Courses in the third and fourth year provides a grounding in all areas of Electronic Engineering and introduce students to elaborate ECE analysis. The second semester of the fourth year and the subsequent long vacation are spent doing a minimum of six months industrial attachment (SIWES) at an approved establishment. A student obtains a pass or fail grade in SIWES. Final year courses build up on the foundation laid by earlier courses and introduce the students to system-level design and development. Course options are provided which are intended to give a student additional expertise in his chosen ECE specialisation. All students under-take a project with a significant practical content, which must be presented in a project report and assessed by the departmental examination board for undergraduate examination.
