admitted into Part II of the 3-year Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree programme. Part I courses were taught as common courses for all Students of the Faculty of Technology. The aim of establishing the Department of Electrical Engineering was to meet the growing need for manpower in the profession. The main objective was to train and produce Engineers with the required qualities and capabilities to meet the increasing need for professional Engineers in the country. Until the 1984/85 session the Department of Electrical Engineering offered a 3-year degree programme following a 2-year pre-degree programme in the Faculty of Science. From the 1984/85 session, however, the Department, like all other Departments in the Faculty of Engineering, started admitting students for the 4-year programme after completing the pre-degree programme in the Faculty of Science or by direct admission through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). At present, the Department of Electrical Engineering,
