The mission of the Program:
The mission of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering program is to prepare our students for careers in their chosen area of specialization. As such, the program aims to provide quality instruction, advisory services and student support to ensure students achieve their goals and gain the knowledge and experience required to succeed in the demanding field
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

The Program Educational Objectives of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering program are closely aligned with Ilia State University’s mission to generate, disseminate and apply knowledge to advance science and benefit society both, locally and globally. The program aspires to achieve a high level of internationalization and future cooperation between the graduates across borders.

Besides focusing on providing necessary professional skills to the graduate, the program delivers several courses to endow graduates with broad insight that would prepare them to function efficiently and live in harmony, in the society, in general. Some of these courses will enhance the critical thinking of the aspirants, and some will give a basic education in the field of natural sciences. With such broad background graduates will be well-positioned to fill in the growing demand for problem solvers and leaders in the electrical engineering fields of microelectronics, signal processing, telecommunications, electronic, control and power engineering. To advance their job oriented skills, students will have an opportunity to develop their managerial skills that are instrumental to a successful professional career.

Within the program, fundamental courses in math, physics and statistics build to later courses in engineering design. The program is structured to ensure adequate incremental practical and theoretical knowledge in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Program graduates will be competitive professionals in Georgia or abroad in areas of project and engineering design and management. They will also be able to continue their education at the master level of studies. In addition, the program is oriented towards the development of transferable skills such as effective oral and written communication in at least one other non-native speaking language so as to develop multicultural awareness. We expect that our graduates will use these skills in whichever sector they consider advancing their careers, be it either in the private, government or educational.

Program Educational Objectives:
The Program has the following Educational Objectives (PEOs):
1. Graduates successfully apply their solid knowledge, skills and experience in a competitive professional environment, have a successful Electrical Engineering career and serve the increasing needs of the professional and civil society;
2. Graduates are equipped with appropriate skills to be efficient team leaders as well as team members;
3. Graduates pursue lifelong learning in order to stay current with contemporary issues and recent advances in the field for sustained success in their professional carriers.

● Lectures and Seminars;
● Written and Verbal Method;
● Analysis and Synthesis Method;
● Problem-Based Learning;
● Group Work;
● Laboratory Work;
● Practical Work;

● Project Work Individually and in Teams.
Note: Specific teaching methods are identified for each individual program component and are listed in relevant syllabi.

The program learning outcomes aim at equipping students with:
1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering program curriculum consists of consecutive required and elective courses culminating in a major engineering design experience at the end of the studies. The curriculum devotes adequate attention and time to mathematics, basic sciences and general education.

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering curriculum requires a total of 244 ECTS.

8 Semesters, 244 ECTS (1 ECTS – 25 hours)
● Free-elective Component: General Module – 76 ECTS (including 6 ECTS electives);
● Major – 168 ECTS (including 24 ECTS electives).

The elective courses provide advanced knowledge in specialized areas. However, it is the senior design course described below that assures the major culminating design experience. Students are offered to enrol at least in one Business Administration or Basic Sciences course as a part of their electives.

During the last two semesters of study, students must participate in a Senior Design Project (6 ECTS each). The main purpose of the project is to improve the students’ technical skills, communication skills by integrating writing, presentation, and teamwork opportunities. Senior-design teams will work under the direction of a faculty mentor/supervisor.

The faculty has the material resources that are used in teaching and technical preparation:
● Auditoriums for lecture;
● Electrical and Electronic Engineering teaching laboratories;
● Computer classes;
● University Library;
● Electronic platform of the University – Argus;                                                                      ● Teaching and Learning Staff Development Center.

Partner organizations, supporting development and implementation of the program:

 ⮚ San Diego State University Georgia;

 ⮚ Innotec Ltd.

 ⮚ Kartli Generation Ltd.

 ⮚ Edison Ltd.

 ⮚ Geographic Ltd.

 The highest quality of facilities available to Electrical and Electronic Engineering students will be ensured with the financial and human resources cooperation and investments of SDSU and The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
