The Master's Degree in Smart Grids (MSG) is a Master of Science Degree with 90 ECTS credits, taught by the University of Strathclyde and the ICAI School of Engineering, in close collaboration with Iberdrola. The main objective of the program is to respond to the growing demand for engineers, needed to lead the ongoing process of the digitalization of the electric grid. This Master’s Degree Program provides students with a detailed understanding of the operation and planning of grids under this new paradigm, along with new business opportunities and models that are arising in this constantly changing field.

The program of courses has been developed in close collaboration with Iberdrola. This alliance guarantees both the practical component, thanks to the participation of industry, and the academic rigor of the courses, resulting from the involvement of two internationally recognized universities. One of the most interesting features of the program is the intensive international experience offered. Students not only spend one semester in both Spain and Scotland but also carry out internships offered within the framework of this Master's Degree at any of the international offices of Iberdrola in Spain, Scotland, the USA and Brazil....

Program Description

The Electrical Power Engineering Master Program aims in ‎general to develop the knowledge and experience of the ‎students in the field of electrical power engineering that leads ‎to developing the electrical energy sector in Palestine through ‎keeping up with the development in this important field.‎

The sub-objectives of the program:‎

You cannot imagine daily life without Electrical Engineering anymore. It solves several problems in energy supply, communications, healthcare and environment. It's no wonder that the faculty's research aims for these subjects. You will undertake innovative research and design, analyse, and realise smart and innovative electrical components and systems.

Besides this, you will cooperate with R&D departments in the industry. Electro-Technology never stops and as a graduate, you can enter a groundbreaking and managerial job.

Focus on research:

NVAO accreditation

This program is legally recognized and accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO).... [-]

New technologies such as electric cars or renewable and ecological power supply systems require fundamental research in electrical (energy) engineering. DC grids (used in batteries, hydrogen systems, or to distribute and transport electrical energy in an environmentally friendly way with cable grids), electric cars, and power electronics are the latest technologies aiming to provide a green and environmentally friendly energy supply. Introducing intelligence (SMART technology) into our power supply reduces costs as well as increases reliability and accessibility for the end consumer. In a nutshell, this program will educate the pioneers needed to make the electrical energy supply future-proof. They will be pioneering the future!... [-]

The Programme focuses on four specializations of the Electrical Engineering discipline. The four specializations are:

Each specialization requires a different set of mandatory and technical elective courses.

The language of instruction is English.

MSc in Electromechanical Engineering

Multidisciplinary training with an in-depth specialisation The two-year Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering integrates the study of electrical and mechanical engineering and research. This unique combination encourages a wide perspective, offering you the ability to bridge the gap between these two fields later on in your professional career. The multidisciplinary programme is complemented with an in-depth specialisation in one of four majors: Aeronautics, Energy, Mechatronics-Construction or Vehicle Technology and Transport.

The specialisation in one of these disciplines starts in the first year, setting you off with a strong set of skills in the chosen field. As a graduate of this programme, you benefit from a compromise between a broad electromechanical engineering education that prepares you for work in design and management and a specialisation in a particular discipline. The programme guarantees a high level of education thanks to the well-qualified academic staff and their link with specialists from research institutes and the industry. As a result, our graduates are known for their immediate wide-ranging employability.... [-]

Electrical engineering is based on scientific principles governing the motion of charged particles through conductors, semiconductors, or even a vacuum. These phenomena can be harnessed in a variety of applications such as wireless, optical or satellite communications, control of robots, radio and television broadcasting, development of microelectronics for computers and analog circuits, and development of instruments that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The master’s program in electrical engineering emphasizes mastery of the field of knowledge and some familiarity with allied areas. It is tailored to meet the needs of the individual with certain general restrictions set by the faculty. The MSEE program consists of at least 30 credits beyond the B.S. degree. A thesis is optional. Students who do not have B.S. degrees in electrical engineering are required to take specified additional courses at the undergraduate or graduate level to make up for deficiencies in their preparation....

Imagine being part of building a satellite that you will see actually go into space. Freshman student Karina Quintana attended Professor Wilmer Arellano’s Engineering Orientation Class in fall 2012. The experiment was an extracurricular activity for EGN-1002 class and Karina took the challenge.

The idea would allow the satellite to passively align and allow picture taking. It can be seen from the video that not only would the onboard magnet align the axis of the satellite – according to the magnetic north – but it would also rotate the satellite over the axis. This satellite will go into space this year.
