The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Power and Machines engineering (EPME). The EPME program focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of power engineering by addressing the fundamental concepts of engineering mathematics, physical sciences, electrical machines, Power Electronic Circuits, Electrical Power System Analysis, and high voltage engineering. The department plays a vital role in providing Lebanon and the region with qualified electrical power engineers. The department also offers Master and Ph.D. degrees in electrical power engineering to cater for working professionals in electrical power companies, utilities, manufacturing establishments and the energy sector in Lebanon

The educational objectives of the program are determined to support career advancement of the graduates and as they pursue their career goals, the graduates will:

1. Advance in engineering careers involving the design, optimization, and implementation of electrical systems, take innovative entrepreneurial ventures, and /or successfully pursue an advanced degree.
2. Acquire new knowledge and adapt to emerging technologies.
3. Assume leadership roles in multidisciplinary teams and promote sustainable eco-solutions in contemporary issues.
4. Communicate effectively and demonstrate ethical and professional behavior in a multicultural work environment.

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The undergraduate curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Power and Machines Engineering consists of 150 credit-hours of course work + 30 credits transferred from Lebanese Baccalaureate or equivalent.

Electrical power engineers are involved in a wide variety of technology ranging from huge global positioning systems that can pinpoint the location of a moving vehicle to gigantic electrical power generators. These engineers are responsible for designing, developing, testing as well supervising the production of electrical and electronic equipment and machinery. Electric motors, controls of machinery, lights and wiring in building complexes, vehicles, aircrafts, power generations, control and transmission devices used by electric utilities are all examples of equipment built by these engineers. Electrical power engineers may choose to specialize in various areas like power generation, transmission and distribution, manufacture of electrical equipment or one particular specialty within these areas.

These engineers are involved in designing new products, writing requirements for their performance, as well as developing maintenance schedules and charts. Testing equipment and machinery, solving operations problems, estimating time and cost of electrical and electronic products also come under their responsibility.
