Program Brief

Background

In an assessment of departmental education at the University of Nairobi, it was found that final year Electrical and Electronic Engineering students preferred theoretical descriptive projects over practical-experimental, simulation or design ones. It was also found that a growing number of graduates were moving into non-engineering based professions such as banking and auditing. These professions make use of the inherent analytical skills gained in learning engineering but avoid the physical building of devices and systems.
