The Department of Electrical Power Engineering
is established to develop the advantage of its strong link with the Electricity
Supply Industry through the parent company, Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The
department consists of young energetic academicians as well as experienced
practising engineers in various fields of Electrical Power Engineering. The
department offers programmes leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering,
B.Eng. (Electrical Power).
The curricula for the undergraduate programmes
require a strong foundation in mathematics, physics and computer. Courses in
electrical and electronics engineering begin in the first year after foundation
programme. The courses include topics such as electrical circuit analysis,
electronics, digital system, microprocessor, electromagnetic fields, electrical
machines and drives, power systems, power electronics and high voltage
technology. Laboratory sessions reinforce the principles learnt in the
classroom which include electrical measurement techniques, application of
non-linear devices, digital logic design, signal processing, microprocessor,
electrical machines and power electronics. Many engineering courses are
classified as design courses and complemented by computer aided engineering
software as simulation and design tools.
During the final year, students choose
technical electives according to their area of interest. The final year project
courses provide opportunities for the students to apply the engineering
principles, experience of current technology as well as learning the
methodology of research. Throughout the course of their study, students will
also take up languages and courses from other departments, and get involved in
a variety of clubs and societies in a holistic approach to become well-rounded
graduates.
The
programme is designed to prepare students to become professional engineers and
industry leaders. The graduates can carve a career in a diverse range of areas
in industries such as electricity supply, petroleum, automotive, chemicals,
processing, aerospace and many others. Electrical Power engineers are engaged
in a variety of activities including design, manufacturing, research,
development, testing, construction, operation, sales, management, consulting
and teaching.
