The Electrical Engineering program at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) offers a comprehensive approach that blends theoretical foundations with practical applications. This approach equips students to tackle contemporary challenges in areas such as information, communication, computing, power, and electrical systems.
With an emphasis on collaborative education, training, research, and capacity-building, the program aims to prepare adaptable engineers, capable of meeting society's evolving needs and embracing leadership, social consciousness, integrity, and ethics.
The Electrical Engineering program at Hamad Bin Khalifa University aims to:
The curriculum starts with a strong foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, and computing, ensuring students understand the core principles of electrical engineering. As they progress, they will delve into specialized areas such as electric energy systems, telecommunications, electronics, and computing systems. Hands-on projects, laboratory experiments, and industry collaborations offer practical insights into the analysis and design of complex systems, preparing students for future career challenges.
The program emphasizes flexibility and interdisciplinary learning, allowing students to customize their education to align with their interests and career goals. As such, students must take at least two courses from their chosen concentration and at least one course from another technical area:
These concentrations provide in-depth expertise, equipping students with the skills needed to excel in these fields.
Beyond technical skills, faculty emphasize teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. Through collaborative projects, internships, and experiential learning opportunities, students will learn to approach problems from multiple perspectives and develop innovative solutions.
The engineering programs at HBKU help students tailor their education through three pathways that each leverage the strengths of HBKU's research institutes, the Qatar Foundation multiversity ecosystem, and partner universities:
These pathways allow students to align their education with their specific career goals. This contributes to the college’s aim to prepare future leaders with entrepreneurial mindsets that shape novel solutions for positive, global impact.
