Welcome to the Electrical Engineering (EE) Department at The Petroleum Institute. Our department offers both undergraduate and graduate programs.
The Department is students centered with an undergraduate Bachelor of Science (BSc) curriculum that combines strength in electrical engineering fundamentals with extensive laboratory experience to reinforce the principles and concepts used in the classroom. It also includes design experiences to apply learned knowledge to solve representatives of real-world problems, all in an environment that stresses leadership and teamwork. In addition, the program emphasizes the development of computer and oral and written communication skills of its students. The BSc program also features a summer internship in industry where students gain significant exposure to industry and real-world electrical engineering issues that complements their educational experience. This program is open to qualified UAE nationals, and selected non-nationals. |

The EE Department provides high quality graduate level education programs that include fundamentals and emerging technologies and their applications. We also perform high quality research, driven by highly qualified faculty, graduate students, and research staff. EE faculty members have won prestigious teaching awards and are distinguished for their research contributions.
The EE Department encourages technical interactions with industry and collaboration with other EE Departments world-wide. We value such interactions, which are becoming increasingly important in maintaining the vitality of our graduate research programs.
For application information, please consult the PI homepage. We invite you to explore our dynamic program! |
