Co-requisites : -- -- --
Course Objectives: To clearly understand the basic concepts related to use of electric energy in
various industrial, commercial and residential applications and important issues related to such
usage. The course also discusses issues related to power quality, economics of energy system usage
and renewable energy systems.
Topics Covered: Lighting and illumination design; Electric wiring design; Electric welding;
Electric heating; Cooling and heating of buildings; Electrolysis; Power quality issues; Renewable
energy sources; Power factor improvement.
Class / Tutorial Schedule: Two lectures are assigned per week with 50 minute for each lecture
session. There is also a 50 minute weekly tutorial session associated with this course.
Professional Component Contribution: Students can learn the analytical methods and modern
tools for solution of problems associated with utilization of electric energy in residential,
commercial and industrial sectors. They acquire the basic skills of how to approach and deal with
real life situations and solve simple design and operation problems. Students must also utilize

knowledge of mathematics, physics, system’s control, circuits and basic engineering sciences in
order to effectively analyze a diverse set of fundamental problems in the use of electric energy and
important issues related to the use of such energy.
Relationship to Program Objectives: This course contributes to the general objectives listed for
an Electrical Engineering Department.
Objective A: By teaching the student how to formulate basic problems and model the
associated configurations, circuits and systems related to wiring and illumination designs
for buildings, electric heating, welding, electrolysis and other applications, this course
support the objective of producing graduate with a strong foundation in basic sciences.
Objective B: By teaching students how to deal with devices and systems for electric
energy applications in various sectors and solve basic problems related to illumination,
wiring, heating and cooling, electrolysis, power quality, energy economics and security of
future energy supply, the course helps in the department’s production of students with a
strong foundation in electrical engineering.
Objective C: By motivating and encouraging students in discussions during lectures and

tutorials to get basic information and skills in a group environment and provide individual
opinion on alternative solutions to the design and operating problem related to the usage of
electric energy in various systems, this course supports the objective of producing graduate
with good communication skills.
Objective D: By encouraging the students to learn pertinent ethical and professional

standards in dealing with alternative methods of design and selection of electric appliances ,
this course supports the objective of providing graduates with a broad based education so
that they can appreciate diversity of opinion, better understand ethical issues and develop a
more global perspective of the profession.
Objective E: By teaching how to design simple illumination and wiring systems and their
individual components, this course supports the objective of producing graduates with
relevant engineering design experience.
Evaluation: There are graded home works, two, 2-hours mid-term exams and a three hour final
exam. The grade distribution is as follows:
Two Mid-Term Exams. 45%
Home Works, Quizzes & Class Participation 15%
Final Exam 40%
Total 100%
Challenges and Actions taken to improve the Course: Some basic background and pre-requisite
type material are often reviewed during the course, notably those related to the review of 3-phase
systems, AC circuits and machines and basic principles of heat flow and thermodynamics. Visits
are arranged to the distribution system within the college during the course in order to expose
students to real life practical elements of the power system within buildings and factors which are
important in the design and installation of such systems.
