2. Professional Data

2.1 Preamble

Engineers solve real-life problems. They find the best solutions

through the application of their knowledge, experience and skills.
Engineers help to define and refine the way of life by providing
innovative, higher-performance, safer, cleaner or more comfortable daily-
used facilities for human beings. They seek improvements through the
processes of invention, design, manufacturing and construction.

The engineer’s problem-solving complexity grows as the world’s

social and technological problems become more closely related. For
example, the problem of air pollution cannot be solved physically without
considering the social, legal, political, and ethical conflicts. Moreover, the
impact of the available engineering solutions on the interests of the
individuals and groups should be considered.

The goal of the Electrical Power & Machines Engineering

Program is to provide students with a high quality applications-oriented
undergraduate education based on state-of-the-art technological
equipment associated with electrical technology. This goal is achieved
through several objectives such as continuing to update specific courses
in the program to ensure relevance to the latest industrial changes,
supporting the development of appropriate computer facilities, promoting
the integration of advanced technology in all courses, and encouraging
professional growth and development of the faculty.

The electrical power & machines engineering program consists of

two main fields, namely electrical power engineering subjects and
electrical machines engineering subjects. These are essentially supported
by two main topics: automatic control engineering and power electronics
subjects. Other essential subjects in the program include electrical
circuits, electronic circuits and devices, electromagnetism, energy
conversion, measurements and computer programming. Basic subjects in
the program include mathematics, physics, materials engineering,
workshop technology, laboratories, management and environmental
issues.
 Students completing a major in Electrical Power & Machines
Engineering program receive a strong foundation in measurement
systems, analog and digital signal conditioning, microprocessor hardware
and software, industrial electronics, and rotating machinery. Students
have the opportunity to select additional coursework in control systems,
electrical power, or a combination of both. Although analog electronics
remain important, one of the newest and fastest growing areas is in the
application of computers for control; this may be control within some
manufactured product or control of some manufacturing process. The
manufacturers of electrical systems and machines need electrical power
technologists who are familiar with machines and machine controls, both
traditional and computer-controlled. The electrical industry provides and
controls the transformers, motors, generators, switch gear, and protection
equipment required to power homes, businesses, and industries. Electrical
power technologists plan electrical systems and modifications to existing
electrical systems that generate and use large amounts of electricity
required for distribution networks that are economical, safe, and
functional.

Graduates of the Electrical Power & Machines Engineering major

understand, design, analyze, and work effectively in industrial settings
utilizing product/process control systems and electrical power systems.
Graduates are working in petrochemical companies, food manufacturing,
steel processing, utilities, electrical equipment, sales, manufacturing and
testing, and a host of other diverse industries.
