Do you want to know the top Electrical Engineering schools in the Philippines?
Before anything else, it is important to differentiate “Electronics Engineering” from “Electrical Engineering.”
Electrical Engineering deals with how electrons can be utilized, whereas Electronics Engineering deals with how holes (which are positively charged) can be utilized on top of the utilization of electrons (Electrical Technology).
Electricity is one of the main sources of energy in the world. From the powering of home appliances to lighting up a city’s worth of light bulbs to powering supercomputers, electricity has enable the use and creation of numerous tools which help humanity live comfortably. The development and improvement of production methods of electricity, among others, is the job of an Electrical Engineer.
Roles of the Electrical Engineer
In the Philippines, Registered Electrical Engineers (REE) are tasked with the following primary responsibilities:
- Developing electrical and digital systems
- Building models and prototypes of electronic products and systems
- Monitoring and using electrical equipment, from installing to maintaining
- Conceptualizing economical and safer ways of accomplishing various electrical engineering projects
Registered Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination
The Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) Licensure Examination in the Philippines is conducted twice every year, typically in April and in September.
If the job piques your interest and you are considering to be an Electrical Engineer soon, take note that the following topics are some of the ones included in the REE Licensure Examination:
- Mathematics (25% of Board Exam topics) – algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, complex numbers, probability and statistics, advanced engineering mathematics including matrices, power series, Fourier analysis, Laplace transforms, and others.
- Engineering science and allied subjects (30%) – general chemistry, college physics, computer fundamentals and programming, engineering materials, engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, electrical engineering law, engineering economics, engineering management, contracts and specifications, code of professional ethics, Philippine Electrical Code, Parts 1 and 2 and others.
- Electrical engineering professional subjects (45%) – electric circuits, electronic theory and circuits, energy conversion, power transmission and distribution, instrumentation and measurement, circuit and line protection, control systems, principle of communication, electrical machines, electrical equipment, components and devices, electric system, power plant, electronic power equipment, illumination, building wiring and others.
In the REE Board Exam, the passing general weighted average rating is typically seventy percent (70%) with no grade below fifty percent (50%) in any group of subjects listed above.
