History
The Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FECE) has growth and academic excellence. Our journey began with the establishment of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1996 G.C., laying the foundation for advanced education and research in the field.
As the department expanded in scope and influence, it was elevated to a full-fledged Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FECE) in 2018 G.C., marking a significant milestone in its development.
Over the years, we have introduced several specialized graduate programs to meet the evolving demands of technology and industry:
· 2011 G.C. – Launch of the M.Sc. in Power System Engineering
· 2022 G.C. – Introduction of M.Sc. programs in Control and Instrumentation Engineering and Computer Engineering
· 2025 G.C. – A landmark year with the commencement of the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the M.Sc. in Communication Engineering and Networking
These milestones reflect our commitment to innovation, research, and the advancement of engineering education. We continue to strive for excellence, preparing future leaders in electrical and computer engineering.
AMU aspires to become the leading top three universities nationally, rank in Africa’s top 50, and gain global recognition through excellence in education, research, and community service by 2030.
