Electrical Engineering is the study of the behaviour of electrical, electronic, digital, and electromechanical systems. Electrical Engineering Technologists are responsible for the design, development, manufacturing, testing and maintenance of electrical, electronic, and digital infrastructure. This includes, but is not limited to, the various forms of power generation, transmission, and distribution systems, control systems, computer systems, data and voice communication systems, automated robotic systems, and medical technologies. The Electrical Engineering technologist assists in creating wealth and improving people’s quality of life.

This programme provides an introduction to Sustainable Energy and Renewable Energy Technologies.
