ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is a well-established department in the College of Engineering, which has been part of the University of Bahrain since it was founded in 1986. The Department offers programs at both undergraduate and post graduate levels that are designed to serve the local market in Bahrain and in the region, offering courses that track the continuous technical developments in the Electrical Engineering field. The programs are designed so as to provide the students with a learning experience that has both sound theoretical and practical components. In addition, the programs encourage lifelong learning, foster ethical engineering practice and focus on developing soft skills essential for engineer in the current market.
Our mission is to graduate creative engineers who can progress in the various fields of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. We aim for excellence in teaching, effective participation in the production of knowledge through scientific research and strong links to the community.
The Department pays special attention to strengthening the student’s practical capabilities, a skill we believe is essential for any engineer. Therefore, the department boasts 11 excellently equipped that serve all the courses offered in the programs. Moreover, the department has an electronics components store to support student’s project work in various courses and the capstone design project in the B.Sc. programs.
Our academic team are highly qualified with diverse specializations that include: electric machines, renewable energy systems, power systems and reliability, power quality issues, power electronics, digital integrated circuits, signal processing, digital systems, computer engineering, communications, microwave engineering, satellite communications, neural networks, image processing, and intelligent control systems.
OUR PROGRAMS
Our 137-credit Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program is accredited by both National Authority for Qualification and Quality assurance of Education and training (NAQQAET) and is also accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, (https://www.abet.org) in the United States. The Electrical Engineering BSc program is designed to provide students with strong engineering science background that will enable them to deal with technical problems that might be faced during their professional Electrical engineering career. Each student carries out prior to his/her graduation a Senior Project. This study involves the design of a real-life Electrical Engineering Project which facilities their adaption to practice as they join the construction industry. During this period, they are also obliged to search and collect information related to their senior project topic. This would enable them to learn how to collect information related to a topic that they do not have any prior knowledge of.
