Kissaka, “New Programmes to Cope with the Market Demand”, International Conference on Engineering Education, August 6-10, Oslo, Norway, pp. 7D7-20 - 7D7-24.http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/1249The paper presents the process undergone to formulate three new undergraduate degree programmes in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Dar es Salaam. The new degree programmes are: B.Sc. in Computer Engineering and Information Technology, B.Sc. in Electrical Power Engineering, B.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering. The three new degree programmes are in addition to the long time existing general B.Sc. in Engineering degree programme. The three new degree programmes have officially started in the 1999/2000 academic year as a result, the department is now offering a total of four degree programmes. The total enrollment of the department has increased from 49 students in the 1998/1999 academic year to 80 students in the 2000/2001 academic year. The new degree programmes have been formulated in response to the current and foreseeable future employment market demand for specialization coupled with the increase in the number of applicants who want to enroll for Electrical Engineering courses. At the same time, due to infancy level of industrial sector in the country, the old general degree programme has been retained. However, the curricula for the general electrical engineering programme has been revised so that to inject some more materials related to computers, electronics, telecommunications and microprocessors. The paper will narrate in detail the influx of market demand of engineers in the fields of Computers and Telecommunications which led to the formulation of the new degree programmes.ennew degree programmesundergraduate degree programmesold degree programmeConference Paper
