Email:  

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is one of the two pioneer departments in the Faculty of Engineering under the College of Science, Engineering and Technology of Osun State University. Academic activities commenced in very first session (2007/2008) of the establishment of the University. The Department runs a 5-year undergraduate programme leading to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.) degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

The academic programme of the Department operates academic curricula that is tailored along the stipulations contained in the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) of the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the BMAS of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). The curriculum exposes Students to basic knowledge, best practices and current advances in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering as well as entrepreneurial and industrial training with a view to enabling them to be arrow heads of the technological development of Nigeria while also being globally competitive. In their final year, Students can specialize in any of the following:

1. Power Systems and Machines
2. Telecommunications
3. Instrumentation and Control.

The Department enjoys modern communication and information technology facilities available in the University and these are judiciously utilized for teaching and research. The first set of students graduated from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the end of the 2011/2012 academic session.
