Electrical Power Engineering Program

About the program:

The Electrical Power Systems Program at Future University in Egypt is a comprehensive, four-year undergraduate curriculum comprising 144 credit hours (CH) distributed across eight semesters. The program blends rigorous foundational theory with specialized coursework and practical training, allowing students to tailor their education to their professional interests.

Curriculum Structure

The program is structured around four core educational modules, supplemented by practical training and a capstone graduation project:

• University Requirements (12 CH): Encompasses general education coursework, including two English language courses and "Human Rights" course in addition to a selection of three elective courses out of six.
• Faculty Requirements (30 CH): Establishes a foundational background in engineering and sciences through coursework in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, engineering graphics, production technology, computer programming, and humanities.
• Department Requirements (60 CH): Covers core electrical engineering disciplines, including electrical circuits, electronics, digital logic and microcontrollers, electromagnetic fields, signals and systems, electrical measurements, control systems, advanced mathematics, physics, project management, and engineering economics.
• Program Requirements (42 CH): Focuses on specialized electrical power engineering topics divided into:
- - Compulsory Courses (27 CH): Builds a robust core in critical areas such as High Voltage Engineering, Power Electronics, DC & Synchronous Machines, Renewable Energy, Power System Protection, Power System Analysis, and Electric Motor Drives.
- - Elective Courses (15 CH): Enables advanced specialization through targeted study in subjects such as Power Quality, Utilization of Electrical Energy, Electrical Installations, PLC Applications, Communication Systems, Power System Operation & Control, Smart Grids, Power Distribution Systems, Switchgear & Substations, Energy Management, Power System Planning, Special Electrical Machines, Advanced Power System Protection, Advanced Power Electronics, and Selected Topics in Electrical Power Engineering.

Practical Training & Capstone Project

• Graduation Project (5 CH): Executed over two semesters, requiring students to apply comprehensive technical knowledge to solve complex engineering problems.
• Practical Training (0 CH): Requires the completion of 150 training hours divided into two modules of 75 hours each to bridge academic theory with real-world industry experience.

Program Mission
