Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Honours

Qualification Description:

The Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering (Honours) forms a major part of a production or process industry instruments setup that are used to measure/monitor signals. In most modern systems/machines where automation is involved, electronic form part of the system. Also, in research/academic, clinical and quality assurance/standards laboratories, electronics are used for measurements and testing. This makes electronics very important in engineering and science. The Bachelor of Science in Electronics (Honours) with specialization is intended to produce highly trained manpower in Electronics ready to take up the challenges in industrial research/design, and in management of industrial and commercial organizations. This qualification is industry oriented and is designed to produce graduate engineers capable of adapting to technological changes.

Upon completion of this qualification, graduates would have acquired knowledge of electronics with specialty either telecommunication, instrumentation, control systems, computing systems, and electrical that will enable them to analyse, design, and build electronic equipment in a wide range of real-world situations.
