Introduction:
The Electrical Power and Machinery Engineering program aims to prepare engineers at the professional level to plan and design electrical power generation plants and manage renewable energy. This program is also an essential supporter of major development projects in Egypt and its regional surroundings. The program is designed to graduate electrical engineers specialized in power systems and electrical machines, as well as the operation and control of electrical power transmission and distribution networks with different voltages. These engineers will also obtain high-tech applications in combating environmental pollution and in various industrial processes. The study in the Department of Power Engineering and Electrical Machinery includes various specializations such as electrical power generation plants, electrical network systems, electrical protection systems, high voltage, electrical machines, power electronics, automatic control, electrical measurements and devices, electrical uses and installations, electrical systems planning, and smart grids. Electrical power and machinery engineers work in many sectors such as: electricity generation, distribution and transmission companies, the Ministry of Electricity and Energy and asissting bodies, the New and Renewable Energy Authority, the petroleum and petrochemical sectors, electrical appliances and equipment factories, electronics factories, iron and steel factories, contracting companies and electrical consulting offices, reactors. Nuclear power, electrical control centers, military institutions, universities, and scientific development and research centers. Electrical power and machinery engineers perform various roles, including operation, maintenance, planning, control, designs, and testing of electrical power devices, equipment, and systems, as well as research, development, and quality assurance, in addition to engineering consultations.
“The Department of Electrical Power and Machines Engineering (PME) aspires to be a local and regional leader in university education, scientific research, and community service in the fields of electrical power and machines engineering.”
