Mission

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Power and Machines (EPM). The EPM program focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of power engineering by addressing the fundamental concepts of engineering mathematics, physical sciences, electrical machines, Power Electronic Circuits, Electrical Power System Analysis, and high voltage engineering. The department plays a vital role in providing Lebanon and the region with qualified electrical power engineers. The department also offers Master and Ph.D. degrees in electrical power engineering to cater for working professionals in electrical power companies, utilities, manufacturing establishments and the energy sector in Lebanon.

Objectives

The educational objectives of the program are determined to support career advancement of the graduates and as they pursue their career goals, the graduates will:

1. Advance in engineering careers involving the design, optimization, and implementation of electrical systems, take innovative entrepreneurial ventures, and /or successfully pursue an advanced degree.

2. Acquire new knowledge and adapt to emerging technologies.

3. Assume leadership roles in multidisciplinary teams and promote sustainable eco-solutions in contemporary issues.

4. Communicate effectively and demonstrate ethical and professional behavior in a multicultural work environment.

Student Outcomes

a. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

b. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.

c. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

d. An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.

e. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.

f. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

g. An ability to communicate effectively.

h. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

i. A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

j. A knowledge of contemporary issues.

k. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

Degree Requirements

The undergraduate curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Power and Machines Engineering consists of 150 credit-hours of course work + IC3 + 30 credits transferred from Lebanese Baccalaureate or equivalent.

Career Opportunities

Electrical power engineers are involved in a wide variety of technology ranging from huge global positioning systems that can pinpoint the location of a moving vehicle to gigantic electrical power generators. These engineers are responsible for designing, developing, testing as well supervising the production of electrical and electronic equipment and machinery. Electric motors, controls of machinery, lights and wiring in building complexes, vehicles, aircrafts, power generations, control and transmission devices used by electric utilities are all examples of equipment built by these engineers. Electrical power engineers may choose to specialize in various areas like power generation, transmission and distribution, manufacture of electrical equipment or one particular specialty within these areas. These engineers are involved in designing new products, writing requirements for their performance, as well as developing maintenance schedules and charts. Testing equipment and machinery, solving operations problems, estimating time and cost of electrical and electronic products also come under their job.
