BTech Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The BTech in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Accra Technical University is a degree programme in the Faculty of Engineering. It focuses on how electrical power is generated, transmitted, and used, and on the design of electronic circuits and systems. The programme is less competitive to enter than many engineering degrees, and it accepts students from General Science, Home Economics, and Technical Studies.

What electrical and electronic engineering actually covers

Programmes of this kind usually start with the mathematics and physics behind electricity and magnetism. You then move into circuit design, control systems, power systems, and practical electronics. The course builds skills in diagnosing faults, reading engineering drawings, and using test equipment, which are exactly what employers look for in the field.

How competitive is the entry process?

This programme is less competitive than many other engineering degrees, so admission is within reach for students with average to good WASSCE grades. As with any programme, you should confirm that your results meet the specific subject requirements before you apply. Students from General Science, Home Economics, and Technical Studies are all considered.

What you can do after graduation

Electrical and electronic engineering graduates go into a wide range of technical roles. Common routes include working as electrical engineers in power distribution, installing and maintaining electronic equipment, or moving into telecommunications and control systems. Some graduates also specialise in renewable energy or automation, while others go on to postgraduate study.
