1.0 TITLE OF PROGRAMME

The title of the programme is National Diploma in Electrical Engineering (NDEE).

2.0 PREAMBLE

2.1 Background

There is an increasing demand for the provision of power for both domestic and
industrial use. The power available on the national grid however needs to be
supplemented with Renewable Alternatives so as to preserve the environment
while satisfying both the local and regional demand. In addition to environmental
preservation, there is no infrastructure for hydro-generated power to reach most of
the remote areas of the country. In many cases, there is no infrastructure for hydro-
generated power to reach the remote areas of the country. This calls for alternative
sources of energy needed to .supplement the power available on the national grid.

Electrical Engineering is a vital profession which provides support to power

generation, transmission and distribution. Many of the buildings constructed in
urban centres require installation of electricity. Well trained and skilled technicians
are required in the ever increasing manufacturing sector but also in every aspect of
life where electricity is vital for survival of civilisation.

In addition, the oil industry requires well trained technicians to carry out
installations and maintenance of infrastructure.

The curriculum is in line with the BTVET strategic plan of ‘’Skilling Uganda’’ and
BTVET Act of 2008. The competences that the learners are expected to acquire are
clearly spelt out in each module covered in the semester. The modules offered in
this programme are packaged in a manner that will enable the learner to attain
particular skills of performing tasks at any level of the respective semester. The
curriculum is designed in such a way that the learner can fabricate a few
components, repair electrical and electronic device as well as work in both light and
heavy power industries.

2
1.2 Justification

There is great need for many persons in Uganda to be trained in Electrical

engineering. Many high school leavers with good grades need professional training
in Electrical engineering to meet the increasing demand created by industrial
growth. Furthermore, Technicians with certificates in Electrical Engineering related
fields such as Electrical Installation, Radio and Television need to advance their
career in order to have a broader knowledge of profession and be better equipped
with technological skills.

The discovery of oil and gas requires well trained technicians equipped with
knowledge about oil and gas and prepared to work in this industry that requires
high safety standards. It also will lead to growth of oil and gas related industry such
as the petro chemical industry. New modules such as Health and safety, Oil and Gas
Industry, Oil and Gas Drilling, Welding and Metal Fabrication are introduced to
enable graduates of NDEE to perform well in these industries.

Global warming and climate change are of tropical concern for the survival of
mankind. This programme tackles the problem by enriching its content with
appropriate modules in the area of renewable energy.

Therefore, the National Diploma in Electrical Engineering (NDEE) is aimed at

producing technicians who are relevant to industry and the world of work. It is
learner-centred and competence-based and emphasises practical teaching, projects
and acquisition of skills by the learners.

2.3 Target Group

The NDEE’s targets groups that include:

(a) Holders of Advanced Certificate of Education;

(b) Holders of Craft Certificates in the Electrical engineering related fields;

(c) Holders of Diplomas or Degrees in the Science disciplines; and

(d) Practitioners in the Engineering and Science fields.
