INTRODUCTION
The Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of the Nigerian Army University, Biu, offers undergraduate degree program leading to the award of B. Eng. (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The undergraduate programme is designed to ensure that graduates of the department acquire the breadth of knowledge necessary for technological innovation. The programme is also designed to ensure that undergraduate students pursue the same Electrical and Electronic Engineering courses that will enable them to qualify as Electrical and Electronic Engineers, up to the end of the fourth year before branching out for one year of further in-depth study in a chosen area of specialization. Professional options currently offered in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering are CONTROL AND INSTRUMENTATIONS, ELECTRONIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS, POWER AND ELECTRIC MACHINE.
MISSION AND VISION
To continuously strive hard and cope with the evolving technology around the electrical and electronic engineering, in order to make the department of world class standard.
PHILOSOPHY
The general philosophy of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department is to produce graduates with high academic standards. Technological know-how and adequate practical background such that they are of immediate value to industry and the nation. All departments are pragmatic in order to turn out engineers capable of solving local Nigerian problems in addition to global challenges that they might be confronted with.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The overall aim of the programme is in consonance with the realization of the national need and aspiration vis-à-vis provision of know-how for Nigerian Army, industrial development, and technical emancipation.
