Cape Coast Polytechnic Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Cape Coast Polytechnic Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Cape Coast Polytechnic Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering was established in 1985 with a mandate to run technician programmes i.e. EET 1 and EET 2 (Power Option). In 1994, the Department started running Higher National Diploma (HND) in Power and Distribution. Currently, the Department offers four specialized subjects.
The specialized subjects include:

Power Supply and Distribution,

  • Computer Operating Systems / Digital Computer Design
  • Telecommunication
  • Instrumentation and Control

In addition to the HND program, the Department still offers technician courses such as Electrical Engineer-
ing Technician (EET) Part 1 and 2. Successful completion of programs offered by the Department will en-
able graduates to provide electrical services for new structures. They can also provide labour force for power
supply and distribution sectors of the economy, install, service and maintain electrical/electronic equipment.

VISION

The vision of the Department is to produce graduates who will be capable of designing and maintaining power
systems, carrying out electrical installation, motor rewinding and installation services, trouble shooting and
fault diagnosis, as well as computer programming.

OBJECTIVE

The Department aims at training students to qualify as engineers and technicians to improve the middle level

labour force in industries. After successful completion of programs, students will:

  • Acquire knowledge and understanding of the concepts and principles of electricity and electronics.
  • Acquire the techniques in the use of tools and equipment.
    • Apply their knowledge in the correct use of electricity to promote safe working procedures and safety
      precautions.
    • Develop skills in the use of appropriate tools and electronics instruments in measurement, trouble –
      shooting and repairs.
    • Acquire the ability to prepare layout, install and commission industrial equipment and offer electrical
      services.
  • Meet the present demands of creating and using software in every aspect needed in the field.

STUDENT POPULATION

The Department has a student population of one hundred and ninety eight (198). The number includes three
females.

The following are Cape Coast Polytechnic Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes. The programmes are grouped under the various semesters.
