Program Outcome
Graduates of Electrical Engineering are expected to be able to:
- Solve complex engineering problems using the application of mathematics and science knowledge
- Conduct engineering procedures professionally and ethically
- Know the ethical and professional responsibilities as an electrical engineer
- Understand and explain the significance of engineering solutions globally, economically, and environmentally
- Use up to date techniques, skills, and engineering tools for electrical engineering procedures
- Apply engineering and management principles both as a member and a leader in a team
On-The-Job Training/Internship
During the fourth year of the program, students are required to attend an On the Job Training (OJT) in a company, organization, or agency that specializes in electrical engineering practices and procedures.
Students are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in an actual work setting. Usually, universities require them to submit a written report on their tasks, learning experiences, and hours rendered. Their work performance will also be evaluated by their immediate managers and will be submitted to their respective OJT coordinator. The number of hours required may differ in each university.
Board Exam
To become a Licensed Electrical Engineer in the Philippines, a graduate of Electrical Engineering needs to pass the Electrical Engineering Licensure Examination. The examination is conducted by the Board of Electrical Engineering under the supervision of the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC). It is scheduled twice a year in the months of April and October.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of Electrical Engineering may pursue a career path in various development and manufacturing companies or government agencies that needs specialized Electrical Engineering services. They may apply for roles such as technical support engineer, electrical installer, electrical field service engineer, junior programmer, electrical engineer, computer systems engineer, electrical technician, and engineering Technician.
