Bacchelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
Bacchelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
Program Description:
Electrical energy plays a key role in the economic development of any country. It is inevitably vital for the functioning of all the mechanisms that govern the different social dynamics. Without electricity for 24 hours is the worst-case scenario for an industrialized country.
Actually, electrical engineering, in all its dimensions (production, transport, distribution, conversion and control) has occupied a primordial place in the industrial sector of the countries and continues to be the subject of particular attention, scientific investment and continuous technological improvement.
Electrical engineering keep gaining for several decades in all industrial and domestic fields.This trend has only been reinforced in recent years, thanks to progress in power electronics, microprocessors and programmable logic controllers (PLC). In effect, controlling the operation of electrical engineering systems and processes with precision while minimizing the energy consumed is currently possible thanks to power electronic interfaces and advanced control techniques that perform real-time processing by means of microprocessors (and PLC) ever more powerful.
On another note, the optimization of electrical engineering systems and the improvement of their performance is a key issue for the sector thanks to the application of sustainable development concepts by reducing their weight and using recyclable materials. All these major technological developments recorded in recent years have increased the needs of industrial companies in terms of skills in the field of electrical engineering. Investing in training and preparing managers to meet these challenges becomes trivial. It is in this spirit that this training is offered. The training is structured in 6 semesters, the first two of which (Common Base) concern all students in the Science and Technology field.
The third semester constitutes a pre-specialization and brings together all the students of the Electrical Engineering family. From semester 4, the lessons become specialized and are exclusively oriented towards electrical engineering. This bachelor degree, by its general nature, offers a balanced education in the four axes of the field of electrical engineering, namely: electrical machines, electrical grid networks, automatic control and power electronics. It is motivated by the fact that nowadays the four options of electrical engineering are very closely linked (an electric machine is often used with a static converter and the control circuit).
In summary, the first year is a platform that allows students to acquire basic knowledge in technological sciences. In addition to computer science, basic subjects (mathematics, physics and chemistry) are taught. The third semester contains basic electrical engineering lessons centered on fundamental electrical engineering and electronics, electrical and electronic measurements, signal theory and digital electronics. Finally, the last three semesters are structured around specialty subjects, which include all the teaching necessary for the specialty: electrical engineering, electrical grid networks and their protection, production of electrical energy and high voltage, Machine control, power electronics and field theory and finally control, regulation and industrial automation.
- Profiles and skills:
The main objective of this training is to allow students to access a double qualifying diploma. Thus, the holders of this License will have acquired, at the end of this course, the skills necessary to integrate a professional environment in the production, transport, distribution or exploitation of electrical energy. They can just as well, through the theoretical lessons acquired, continue their studies in one of the many existing Masters.
Thus, the Electrical engineering bachelor’s degree gives the student good adaptability to enable him to assert himself in the face of new situations during his career. In this regard, it is able to:
- Understand the physical phenomena related to the transformations and use of electrical energy.
- Define and operate electrical power equipment and associated control systems, to produce energy or operate automation.
- Know the different components of electrical networks and become familiar with the means of control and protection.
- Define the distribution, protection and control equipment, from high voltage to low voltage and their commissioning.
- Understand the real specificities of electrical networks and the means to be implemented for the stability of these networks.
- Master the computer tools specific to the fields of activity of electrical engineering.
- Improve the performance of the electrical engineering systems while listening to its interlocutors.
- Participate in the development of calls for tenders and specifications.
- Adapt to new technological specificities of companies.
- Regional and national employability potential :
All industries today run on electric power and use electric machines.
It is therefore clear that employment opportunities for holders of this bachelor’s degree throughout the national territory are guaranteed, on the one hand.
Furthermore, and taking into account the national guidelines for the development of strategic sectors (the desalination of sea water, the production of electricity and renewable energies), private and/or public investors will certainly begin to operate, in a near future, modern means of electricity production, which bodes well for a flourishing future for graduates of this sector.
In general, the energy sector is still carrier in terms of employability.
Different sectors of activity will manifest a continuous and renewed need for this specialty: the oil and gas industries, refrigeration and air conditioning, food processing and transport, the chemical and plastics industries, the hydraulic industries and paper mills, iron and steel and metallurgical industries, mechanical and cement industries, … and the field of production, distribution and exploitation of electrical energy.
