 Discipline Summary
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Historically, Electrical Engineering dealt with power generation, transmission, and distribution while Electronics Engineering dealt with smaller electrical devices. Over time, however, Electrical Engineering developed to contain a wide range of sub-fields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics.
All of these disciplines share a likeness in the early stages of learning, namely the mathematics, physics, and chemistry required to fully understand and begin the path to becoming an electrical/electronics engineer. After study of these math and science fundamentals has been sufficiently completed, further study can be done within each sub-discipline. Because of the progressive nature of technology and Engineering, there is a lot of overlapping of disciplines between Electrical Engineering and Electronic engineering.

Department vision and mission:-

Even though the department is not vested to confer degrees or diplomas, it holds dear the right of learning and research. Course content that is developed is rich enough to guide students on the path of becoming an Electrical Engineer. Furthermore, the material is a resource that practicing Electrical Engineers are able to refer to from time to time.

 Biography

 Charles Proteus Steinmetz (April 9, 1865 – October 26, 1923) was a German-born American mathematician and electrical engineer and professor at Union College. He fostered the development of alternating current that made possible the expansion of the electric power industry in the United States, formulating mathematical theories for engineers. He made ground-breaking discoveries in the understanding of hysteresis that enabled engineers to design better electromagnetic apparatus equipment including especially electric motors for use in industry

Course Brief & Outline

Introduction
Welcome to the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Orientation course (EE-PRE). You are probably very keen to kick-start your career in becoming an Electrical/Electronics Engineer. In that case, you have chosen to start at the right place—orientation! This course is here to help you evaluate yourself in preparation to entering the most important field in industry... Engineering.
The Aptitude Test Background
The aptitude tests in this course are not meant to select or classify the best or most talented prospective students, but simply to guide such in self-evaluation in your preparation to undertake Engineering studies, and your maturity and potential to grasp first-year Engineering course content. Engineering studies like the Engineering profession are very demanding, hence the need for students to be properly orientated and prepared for such challenges.
