- Gain a practical perspective to main engineering systems and challenges prior to theoretical courses of the following years with practical design projects
Course Content
An orientation course introducing the students to engineering in general and to electrical and electronics engineering in particular with a discussion of the past, present and future of major areas. The course also aims to emphasize the ethical issues and current debates in electrical engineering and bring career and research opportunities to the attention of students. A general portrayal of electrical engineering is presented by means of practical, hands-on design projects and technical tutorials.
