Why Choose the National N Diploma in Electrical Engineer Programme?
A qualified Electrical Engineering in Heavy Current student will be responsible for the designing and planning of different energy sources to feed into electricity grids, which in turn is used for a variety of different uses where electricity is required. A veteran engineer may become a specialist in a certain area or can work across different industries. Investigating different energy sources, problem solving and being able to manage a team of heavy current technicians are part of the roles and responsibilities of this job.
With the energy crisis in South Africa and with coal being a non-renewal energy source, there is a dire need for electrical engineers to come up with innovative ideas to create electricity.
