Overview
The Bachelor of Science
in Electrical Power Engineering at INES-Ruhengeri is designed using a
competency-based model with a focus on practical work through in campus
laboratory, living lab in the community, our other different outreach projects,
and internship in collaboration with our industrial partners. The Program brings sufficient skills in the
integration of emerging technologies, including digital protection systems, AI
and IoT, and grid automation.
Combinations
The programme of
Electrical Power Engineering will be open to both local and international
students who are interested in a career in Electrical and Energy Engineering,
both females and males. Students from any combination that has mathematics and
physics in their main courses in secondary school educational backgrounds will
be considered eligible to the program. Students who finished secondary
education in electricity and electronics will also be eligible.
