Description
An electrical engineer is dedicated to the study and application of three main topics with an integrated, innovative and dynamic vision: Electrical Power Systems, with emphasis on electric power generation through renewable and conventional sources; Control and Automation, an essential factor for the efficiency and competitiveness of production processes; and Telecommunications and Signal Processing, closely related to power generation, transmission and information processing.
What You Will Learn
STEM Fundamentals
Includes the scientific background necessary to understand the principles and fundamentals of engineering and their applications to problem solving. There are courses in Calculus, Physics, and Discrete Mathematics as the basis for programming languages primitives.
Applied Engineering
The Applied Engineering courses offer the student the necessary training for the design of electrical systems. The emphasis is on three fields, Automation and Control, Power Systems and Telecommunication and Signal Processing.
Power Systems
Courses in this field include Power System Analysis, Power Distribution Systems, Industrial and Residential Electrical Installations and Smart Grids.
Automation & Control
Automatic Control, Power Electronics, Modelling and Simulation and Microcontrollers are some of the courses that students will take in this field.
Telecommunications
This field involves the works and logic behind telecommunications: Digital and Analogue Electronics, Telecom Systems, Computer Networks, Audio and Image Processing.
Technical Electives
These courses expand in the different fields of Electrical Engineering that are offered and that are demanded by the dynamic and changing reality at the national and regional levels.
Social Outreach & Humanism
Students have 5 elective courses in this area, choosing among several topics such as environmental studies, climate change, ecology, ethics, sociology, writing, philosophy, and many more.
Facilities At Your Disposal
Practice in our courses is of the utmost importance, which is why we have hardware and software equipment to complement theory. Some of the laboratories where our students carry out their practice are: UCA-Siemens Classroom, Analog Signals, Electromagnetism and Telecommunications, Virtual Instrumentation, Digital Processing of Acoustic Signals and Images, Internet of Things, Residential and Industrial Electrical Installation, Electrical Machines.
Schedule
This program has been designed for full-time students with its suggested course election per semester. From the first to the fourth year the schedule are daytime, however, the fifth year, the classes are programming early during the morning (7:00 to 8:40) and late during evening (17:30 to 20:10). This allows senior year students to obtain and complete internships or achieve their first job.
