Programme Name Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) with Honours (Quota Based)
Programme Description
Aim: 
The aim of BE (Hons) (Electrical) programme is to meet the demand for electrical and electronics engineers in various industries such as power, manufacturing, transport and white goods industries etc. Electrical and electronics engineers play a major role in the production of electrical energy from various resources and this is the energy which drives the country in the growth of economy and industrialization.

Fiji and the Pacific Region are entering a major period of reform in all sectors and in particular on infrastructure renewal, redevelopment and harnessing of its natural resources and consistent with an attempt for a revival economy. There is a shortage of skilled and experienced engineers of all categories: notably in electrical (power), telecommunication (IT) and electronics (consumer products), and computer and control fields. 

Electrical and electronics engineering is largely concerned with invisible phenomena and relies heavily on mathematically based models for circuit/system design and analysis. Instrument readings, used to quantify these phenomena, have to be interpreted in the context of these models, which in turn can only have any practical significance when parametric values have been determined through measurement. The BE (Hons) (Electrical) programme is designed with an emphasis on developing an integrated approach and a combination of general and specialist engineering knowledge and understanding of 'theory' and 'practice' and emphasizing the interdependence of 'theoretical concepts and practical skills, based on the use of instruments and/or data from formal surveys, in particular, for business purposes.

Graduates from the BE (Hons) (Electrical) will be able to work as professional electrical engineers with design, development, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance and management of equipment, plant and systems within the electrical, electronic, communication and computer systems areas.  These areas span industries in Fiji and the Pacific Region in electricity generation, transmission, distribution, electrical installations (power distribution, lighting control systems, etc.) in buildings and on industrial sites, electrical equipment manufacture, and instrumentation and control systems applications.

Program Objectives: 
The BE (Hons) (Electrical) programme is designed to adopt the graduate attributes outlined in the IPENZ recommended list of PLOs in the document “Requirements for Accreditation or Recognition of Engineering Education Programmes ACC 02”. Students are expected to:
1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and electrical engineering specialization as specified in WK1 to WK4 respectively to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex electrical engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences (WK1 to WK4)
3. Design solutions for complex electrical engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations (WK5).
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems in electrical engineering using research-based knowledge (WK8) and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex electrical engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations (WK6).
6. Apply reason informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex electrical engineering problems (WK7).
7. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solution of complex electrical engineering problems in societal and environmental contexts (WK7).
8. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice (WK7).
9. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
10. Communicate effectively on complex electrical engineering activities with the engineering concourse and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member or leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change in electrical engineering.
