If you are here, it’s fair we congratulate you on your admission to study Electrical /Electronic Engineering in KNUST or any other institution. For sophomores and above, we also salute you for striving hard so far. Engineering, as a programme, is very intensive no matter your institution or country of study. However, Electrical /Electronic Engineering has its own lifestyle, and it is best you recognize that before delving into it or before you graduate. This guide is here to help you through certain aspects of the programme, so you can finish smoothly, effectively and efficiently.
Careers Under Electrical /Electronic Engineering
You should envision your destination right from Day 1. This helps in making thoughtful decisions along every step towards the bigger picture. For example, there will be cases where you have to select from a group as optional courses. Certain combos may align well with your preferential field in the Electrical Engineering circus, while others won’t. Per experience, students rather decide on them using other lighter factors like Difficulty level, Majority factor, CWA booster, etc.
We understand preferences vary from time to time. However, you have to always make sure every change in career direction sees a correlating alteration in your course choices and routine practices.
Within the 4 years, all courses span these areas of Engineering fields.
- Power Engineering
- Electronic Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Telecommunication Engineering
- Instrumentation Engineering
- Microelectronics
- Control System Engineering
- Signal Processing
Of course, there are other general courses University Management incorporates because they apply to shape students for both societal and professional lives. For example, Communication Skills, French, Economics,etc.
You can read more, from the link below, on the various careers in Electrical Engineering and decide where you want to go.
