Program Highlights
Department of Electrical Engineering
Step into the future as a technology leader with the Department of Electrical Engineering, South-East Asia University (SAU)
The Bachelor of Engineering program was developed under the National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (TQF, 2015) and is accredited by the Council of Engineers, while also raising education quality assurance to the international AUN-QA standard. The program focuses on holistic student development, covering academics, engineering skills, and professional ethics, by combining rigorous theory with hands-on experience. Its strength lies in preparing students for the modern industrial sector through training with industry-standard software such as MATLAB, LTspice, and SolidWorks, along with standardized laboratories for electrical machinery. The program is also connected to a network of leading business partners (MOU). The Department of Electrical Engineering at SAU is therefore ready to cultivate “quality electrical engineers” who can analyze, solve problems, and create innovations to meet the demands of the national labor market and advance steadily in their careers.
