The Bachelor of Science (External) degree program in Electronics and Automation Technologies has as its primary goal the development of key analytic and technical competencies through the study of fundamentals in Electronics and Information Technology, with an emphasis on the automation aspects that can be achieved through the integration of electronics and computing. This is a fast-track curriculum designed for individuals who are already employed or who are looking for opportunities in the electronics industry.
Admission Requirements:
GCE Advanced Level Examination (local) – Three passes in one sitting in the Physics Stream GCE Advanced Level Examination (local) – Three passes in one sitting in the Chemistry Stream
OR
Three passes in one sitting in the GCE Advanced Level Examination (local) in the Technology Stream.
OR
Any other academic or professional degree that is considered to be equivalent by the faculty and the senate (for example, the London A/L, City and Guilds, HNDE, etc.).
Duration of Program:
Every Bachelor of Science degree will be completed in a period of three years. The training course is broken up into two semesters, each of which lasts for a total of twenty weeks. The classes are held on Sundays and other days of the weekend. On the other hand, depending on the schedule of the examinations, your presence may be required on a few Saturdays.
Biotechnology and Microbiology Programme Structure:
It is possible to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronics and Automation Technologies in just three years (90 credits / SLQF Level 5), and the program has three distinct stages.
LEVEL I: Diploma in Electronics and Automation Technologies (30 Credits)
LEVEL II: Advanced Diploma in Electronics and Automation Technologies (60 Credits)
LEVEL III: BSc in Electronics and Automation Technologies (90 Credits)
More details and set of courses can be found in the course catalogue.
Method of Study:
Because Electronics and Computing are both very hands-on fields of study, our number one aim will be to ensure that our students have a solid foundation in the relevant practical skills. The vast majority of the classes are organized so that they place an emphasis on hands-on training. The Learning Management System (EDP_LMS) will be used to handle all of the courses, with the goal of improving the overall quality of the educational experience. Every student will be granted access to the EDP_LMS in order to view the lecture materials and participate in the learning activities that are being kept there. Additional online discussion classes will take place at regular intervals for the purpose of providing students with the opportunity to engage in conversation with the instructors.
Program Evaluation:
Written examinations as well as assignments will be used, depending on the circumstances, to assess students’ mastery of the theoretical course modules. The laboratory course modules will be evaluated based on the completion of assignments and/or tests at the end of the semester. A mixed-mode evaluation that includes continuous assessments can be required for certain course units under certain circumstances. The requirements for level certificates, diplomas, advanced diplomas, and degrees can all be found in the section under “Degree-Awarding Criteria.”
