HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY

The plan to establish the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering started in 1988 with the employment of one graduate assistant preparatory to the actual take off of the programme. In October 1990, the first sets of students were admitted into the 100 level. The department graduated a total number of 118 students since inception.

PROGRAMME PHILOSOPHY, MISSION AND VISION FOR ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
There is no doubt that engineering is the key to technological break through for any nation whether copied, adapted or prime development. Therefore, the mission of Electrical and Electronics Engineering department in the new millennium would remain the training of persons in the various fields of Electrical and Electronics engineering, who will acquire scientific and professional skills and in turn be professionally competent and contribute to the development of the nation’s economy. The skills of our engineers would make them self reliant, job creators and provide services rather than depend on government for employment.
Our vision as a department is contained in the motto of the Federal University of Technology, which is: Technology for Development; it is our vision to carry through the engineering approach to understanding, problem solving and making the Nigerian environment a better and healthier place to live in.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF THE B.ENG (ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING) PROGRAMME
The general aims and objectives of the bachelor of engineering in electrical and electronics programme are to produce graduates in electrical and electronic engineering with a sound academic background coupled with sufficient practical experience. Such graduates are expected to be resourceful, creative and able to perform the following functions:

i. To solve practical problems in electrical and electronics engineering by analysis and experimentation.

ii. To design, assemble, install commission and operate electrical/electronics equipment.

iii. To prepare quantities and specifications related to electrical/electronics works.

iv. To understand and use the basic principles of management applied to engineering industries in general.
