Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Graduates of Electrical Technology programme are expected to be able to work in various industries operating in electrical engineering and automation. This ranges from high power industries like the national grid’s generation plants, transmission system, substations and distribution system, to manufacturing industries having automatic systems. Graduates in Electrical Technology Program will be able to start their own enterprises/companies operating in the above-cited areas, and eventually employ many other citizens.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department

1. Introduction

Electrical and electronic engineering focuses on the work at the cutting edge of technology, developing the products and systems used on a daily basis. Innovating to meet society’s communication, technology, and energy needs. Electrical engineering is a discipline of engineering that focuses on electricity technology. “Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the fabrication and installation of electrical systems, equipment, or components,” according to the American Society of Electrical Engineers.

Engineers who work in the field of electronics study the needs and costs of electrical systems. Electrical engineers are responsible for the design, development, testing, and supervision of electrical equipment such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, and power generation equipment. Currently, the Department of Electrical and |Electronics Engineering at IPRC Musanze comprises two programs namely: Electrical Technology, and Electrical automation technology.

2. Departmental Training objectives  

Program 1Electrical Technology: To train Electrical technicians equipped with the skills, knowledge, and attitude required to contribute to the efficient use of electricity to produce, deliver, store and transmit it, distribute and control the power of large scales systems, analyze Electrical circuits, operate high voltage applications with heavy currents.

In addition, trainees in Electrical technology acquire skills in Electronics to create, design, and test electrical circuits and components, integrate those circuits into computer hardware systems, build and operate circuits that can process and have decision-making capabilities, and design low voltage applications with the low-strength current.

Graduates of the Electrical Technology program are expected to be able to work in various industries operating in electrical engineering and automation. This ranges from high power industries like the national grid’s generation plants, transmission systems, substations, and distribution systems, to manufacturing industries having automatic systems. They will be able to start their own enterprises/companies operating in the above-cited areas, and eventually employ many other citizens.

Program 2Electrical Automation Technology: The purpose of the Electrical Automation Major is to develop high-quality application-oriented talents with innovative and entrepreneurial abilities who have mastered the basic theory and professional skills of electrical automation, as well as the ability to install, debug, maintain, and manage industrial electrical control equipment and systems.

The principle and application of single-chip microcomputers, programmable controller system design, maintenance electrician, electrical control technology, automatic production line installation and debugging, and other important courses are among the courses offered by this major. Students can pursue careers in automation technology product debugging and maintenance, application development, and electrical system operation, maintenance, and management after graduation.
