The philosophy of the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering is drawn from the Covenant University’s philosophy which is succinctly captioned as “Promoting Mental Productivity” with the objective of turning out graduates
as expert thinkers and prudent managers in their respective fields.

Electrical and information engineering as the backbone of a knowledge economy has ever evolving dynamics with high versatility. Therefore, the Department’s programmes are such as to contribute effectively and sufficiently to the knowledge economy by putting in place curricula that meet these challenges in computer engineering; electrical and electronic
engineering; and information and communication technology.

The training is to produce graduates who are producers, rather than mere consumers, of knowledge economy by being upon graduation a ready-made functional engineers in industries, research assistant scholars in academia, or successful entrepreneurs in electrical and information engineering.
