Electrical Engineering
POWER ENGINEERING Degree Program

 


Electrical Engineering is divided into two basic programs, Power Engineering and Electronics. The students decide about taking up the particular program when qualifying for admission in the first semester. The first three semesters’ program, which is common for both Degree Programs, is mainly based on courses in mathematics, physics, fundamentals of electrical engineering and information science, which provide the students with the fundamental professional knowledge in their particular field.


During the following three semesters, students are exposed to professional education in their specific area of concentration. They are offered a modern program which provides both the fundamental education in classic electrical engineering courses (theoretical electrical engineering, electrical machines, networks), and education in power electronics and control engineering. This education is necessary for further study of modern electrical engineering systems. This is performed in the fourth year of studies in which the students can take up one of the two major areas of concentration. Teaching is performed via the theoretical lectures and the laboratory work, with the application of computers as a current engineering tool.


Industrial Power Engineering area of concentration provides the students with the skills necessary for the application of electricity in industry, transport, and other branches of economy. The program predominantly deals with electromotive drives and electrical plants associated to analog and digital computer-based control systems. In short, this is a field of electrical engineering which deals with the application of electrical energy in sophisticated engineering systems, applying industrial electronics, and taking into account the requirements of the modern technological systems.

Graduate engineers of power engineering can work and specialize in jobs dealing with research, development, design, construction, and maintenance of electrical appliances in electric-power plants, industry, and transport. It also deals with electrical machines, power electronics devices, controlled electromotive drives, etc.


The Electric Power Systems area of concentration is oriented to problems of generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy, taking into account all requirements of the modern world (ecology, rationalized economizing with energy, etc.) In addition, power engineering balance sheets, classical and alternative power sources, transmission and distribution networks, management and planning of power engineering systems, control and protection of electrical plants, and high-voltage engineering are also studied. Computer technology which is applied in all parts of a power engineering system, offers a strong support in problem solving and knowledge acquisition process.

There is a lack of electrical engineers in both home and world economy. By taking up the Power Engineering Degree Program, therefore, you can have a calm and peaceful future.
