FAQs
What is the main difference between electronic engineering and electrical engineering?
Electronic engineering deals with small-scale, low-voltage components, microchips, and programming, while electrical engineering focuses on high power, mains electricity, power generation, transformers, and automation.
What level of Mathematics is required?
A minimum of Grade O6/H7 in Mathematics is required for entry, but a higher grade is recommended because mathematics is fundamental in understanding and solving complex engineering problems.
