After a general engineering curriculum in the first year, students begin to take EP-specific courses. These include electrical circuits, materials science, calculus, thermodynamics, waves, and magnetism. Students learn about mechanical and electromagnetic wave phenomena, momentum carried by waves, standing waves, and radiation of electromagnetic waves. They also learn about electric field and voltage, capacitance, magnetic fields, generators, motors, and inductance.
More advanced courses in EP include digital logic design, electronic devices, optics and lasers, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetic theory. Students learn about applied boundary value problems, applications to high-voltage insulator and bushing design, magnetic pole-piece design. They also learn about the refractive indexes in materials, electronic instrumentation, and the design of measuring equipment.
Statistical and computer programming are also offered to EP students. These allow the student to analyze acquired data and to create computer models to test their theories. Laboratory courses are designed to allow the student to apply their theoretical knowledge.
Students also learn about the fundamentals of engineering management, engineering economy, and the fundamentals of control systems engineering.
