From the needs assessment done through questionnaire to students, alumni, staff and industry and based on Kenya Vision 2030 that aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrialized middle-income country, providing a high quality of life to all its citizens by 2030 in a clean and secure environment. The realization of these objectives hangs on the ability to utilize both natural and human resources in an efficient and sustainable manner. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical and electronic Engineering programme will produce graduates who are well equipped with skills to contribute in infrastructure development through making good use of available resources for service of current population while being mindful of the future generations. To achieve its Vision 2030 and beyond, Kenya has to invest in training qualified graduates to improve the quality and quantity of the products and services in industry.

The programme aims at contributing to the well-rounded education of electrical and electronics engineering students, preparing them for successful careers and contributing to the advancement of the field:

• Provide a strong foundation in the core principles of electrical and electronics engineering, including circuit theory, signals and systems, electromagnetics, and digital systems.
• Develop the ability to analyze and solve complex engineering problems using critical thinking, creativity, and practical application of theoretical concepts.
• Offer laboratory work, projects, and hands-on activities to reinforce theoretical learning, enhance practical skills, and foster innovation.
• Cultivate effective written and oral communication skills, as well as the ability to present technical information clearly and professionally.
• Promote teamwork through group projects, encouraging students to collaborate on real-world engineering challenges, mirroring the interdisciplinary nature of the field.
• Instill a strong sense of ethics, responsibility, and professionalism in engineering practice, including an understanding of the societal impact of technology.
• Foster a mindset of lifelong learning, keeping students informed about the latest technological advancements, industry trends, and encouraging them to pursue further education or professional development.
• Develop the ability to design electrical and electronics systems, considering constraints such as cost, sustainability, and safety, while meeting specified requirements.
• Equip students with the skills to adapt to evolving technologies, preparing them for a dynamic and rapidly changing engineering landscape.
• Facilitate internships, co-op programs, or industry partnerships to give students real-world experience and enhance their understanding of the practical applications of their knowledge.
• Prepare students for further education, research, or specialization in areas such as power systems, telecommunications, control systems, and electronics & microprocessors.
