Diploma in Electric Engineering -Extended Curricula Programme.
Department of Information Electrical Engineering
Purpose of the Qualification
The purpose for the Diploma in Engineering (Extended Programme) is to equip underprepared students, who wish to study towards the Diploma in Electrical Engineering. Additional modules are therefore introduced at S1 and S2 levels, hence the extended period for the completion of this programme. To achieve its purpose, the programme aims to:
- Provide students at risk with a viable platform to successfully undertake Electrical Engineering studies at tertiary education level.
- Provide students from disadvantaged backgrounds with an adequate level of foundational competence which is based on specific and discipline-related knowledge.
- Improve the retention and throughput of disadvantaged students entering the mainstream programme.
- Provide a learning environment where the gap in terms of disadvantaged student needs and the student support required are bridged. Provide a student who has the potential to succeed with Electrical Engineering studies at tertiary level with an opportunity to:
- gain a contextualised understanding of the field of Electrical Engineering.
- develop the knowledge and skills to engage in basic Electrical Engineering practices effectively.
- become familiar with the application of basic knowledge and skills in the Electrical Engineering discipline.
- Ensure that the required educational quality standards in teaching and learning are maintained while at the same time achieving the above aims.
The rationale for the Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Extended Programme) is, therefore, essentially the same as for the three-year Diploma in Electrical Engineering programme but is specifically designed in such a way so as to benefit students by providing support to students to obtain essential skills for completion of the Diploma in Electrical Engineering. Students successfully completing the Extended Programme will thus be able to:
- Develop a contextualised understanding of the field of Electrical Engineering.
- Develop the knowledge and skills to engage in Electrical Engineering practices effectively. Apply knowledge and skills in the Electrical Engineering academic environments.
- Continue with their studies beyond the S2 level towards the obtainment of a Diploma in Electrical Engineering
