School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Program Overview

From smartphones and medical imaging devices to automotive control units and internet-of-things (IoT) ecosystems, modern life runs on hardware circuitry. The Electronics program at ISEST is a technical engineering discipline focused on the design, analysis, and fabrication of advanced electronic circuits and computerized hardware.

 

This program goes far beyond simple device troubleshooting, training students in solid-state physics, circuit theory, and assembly micro-programming. Enrolling at the HND level and progressing to a B.Tech, students work in testing laboratories equipped with digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) prototyping stations. They learn to design custom circuit architectures, program microcontrollers, and interface sensors for real-world automation. Graduates emerge as hardware engineering professionals capable of designing consumer tech, developing industrial instrumentation, or working in aerospace electronic systems.

Main Objectives

  • To develop expert proficiency in circuit simulation, PCB layout drafting, and hardware prototyping using industry-standard CAD tools.
  • To train students in programming embedded microcontrollers (such as ARM, AVR, and Arduino) using C and Assembly languages.
  • To train students in programming embedded microcontrollers (such as ARM, AVR, and Arduino) using C and Assembly languages.
  • To build skills in analyzing and calibrating communication circuits, wireless transceivers, and high-frequency signal processing units.
  • .To equip graduates with advanced diagnostic, failure-analysis, and component-level soldering techniques.
