What is this course about?
Electrical & Electronic Engineering Programme serves as an entry point for five engineering diplomas. It is a common first year course that gives you a good grounding on the fundamentals of electrical and electronics engineering. Your options are open as you discover your interests in the first year. At the end of the first year, you can choose and pursue one of the five courses:
- Diploma in Electronics
- Diploma in Media & Communication Technology
- Diploma in Computer Engineering
- Diploma in Microelectronics
- Diploma in Aerospace Electronics*
*The Aerospace Electronics course was added recently to the list of courses that you can choose from as an Electrical & Electronic Engineering Programme student after completing your first semester.

Is there any opportunity for further education?
The five diploma courses are recognised by the local universities and many overseas universities.
Upon graduation, you can apply for engineering degree courses relevant to your field of study at either local or overseas universities, with one or two years of exemption.
You can also apply for courses in law, business administration, finance, accounting, arts, social sciences, and many others. The local universities admit polytechnic graduates to these courses, regardless of their diploma discipline.

What are the career opportunities?
You can find employment in areas like design and development, sales and marketing, media design and production, software application development, servicing and maintenance, manufacturing, and many others.
Almost every company makes use of electronic and communication devices, sensors, actuators, machines, computers, servers, networks and monitoring and control systems.
Every piece of equipment or system - such as avionics, air traffic control systems, road traffic management systems, train control and monitoring systems, power generation, transmission and distribution systems, telecommunication systems, data management systems, manufacturing plants - require skilled engineering professionals to manage them.
This course grooms you to be analytical and competent engineering professionals. You can also choose to further your education and then venture into areas such as finance, business, accounting and law.
