Overview:

The department of Electrical Engineering Technology aims at graduating skillful, well–trained technicians needed by the State of Kuwait in the field of electrical machines, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, and renewable energy. This is achieved by teaching students the basic knowledge and technical skills in their perspective majors. Students will also acquire the ability to follow the fast progress in Electrical Engineering Technology and continue their academic study in both theoretical and practical aspects.

Majors:

The department awards a Diploma degree in three majors:

• Electrical Machinery Engineering Technology.
  
• Electrical Energy Transmission and Distribution Engineering Technology.
• Renewable Energy Engineering Technology.
  

​

PROGRAM  DESCRIPTION:

The Electrical Engineering Teclmology Department combines engineering knowledge with teclmical skills to emphasize practical application rather than theory and design.

The department offers specialization in Electrical Machinery Technology (EEM) and Electrical Energy Transmission & Distribution (EEP). The two offered programs will impart a basic understanding of electrical generation and conversion built on a foundation of electrical theory and technology. Areas of concentration focus on electric machinery & drive systems, test operations, power generation, transmission and distribution, industrial control, instrnmentation, analog circuits, and power electronics.

PRE-REQUISITES:

Applicants must be secondary school leavers or holders of an equivalent certificate obtained in the previous two years.

PROGRAM  OUTCOMES: 

On successful completion of the program the graduate will acquire:

a. an ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modem tools of the discipline to nmrnwly defined engineering technology activities:

b. an ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of p1inciples but extensive practical knowledge;

c. an ability to conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct,analyze, and inte1pret experiments;

d. an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;

e. an ability to identify, analyze, and solve nmrnwly defined engineering teclmology problem.s;

f. an ability to apply vnitten, oral, and graphical conunmlication in both technical and non-teclulical enviromnents; and an ability to identify and use approp1iate technical literan1Ie;

g. an understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;

h.an understanding of and a commitment to address professional and etllical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity; and

i.a comnlitment  to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement .
