The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Veritas University Abuja evolved from the former Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, which was initially headed by Engr. Dr. Anthony Lordson Amana. The establishment of the Faculty of Engineering followed the successful resource verification exercise conducted by the National Universities Commission (NUC) on 24 November 2019. Following the approval of the exercise, the Faculty of Engineering was officially established on 10 February 2020 and commenced academic activities with three academic staff members, one Faculty Officer, and two pioneer students. The pioneer academic and administrative staff members were Engr. Professor Anthony N. Nzeako, who served as the Pioneer Dean and Head of Department; Dr. (Mrs.) Maria-Assumpta O. Eduok-Akpan; Engr. Dr. Anthony Lordson Amana; and Ms. Lydia Aneato, who served as Faculty Officer. The Department also benefited from the support of dedicated professionals through parallel appointments, including Dr. Francis Chiedu Uwaechia, Mr. Eric Atanga Taniform (Software Engineer), and Mr. Patrick Oketa (Electronic Technologist). The pioneer students of the Department included Mr. Ochaju David and another student who later transferred to a public university after registration. From its inception, the Department adopted the guiding philosophy: *“Making the world a better place, the engineering way.” * This philosophy emphasizes the development of graduates who embody creativity, entrepreneurship, diligence, self-reliance, and service, as well as accountability, discipline, honesty, integrity, responsibility, justice, patience, tolerance, transparency, and teamwork. The Department strongly promotes collaborative learning through lectures, laboratory work, workshops, tutorials, research activities, and engineering design projects. Students are trained to become innovative problem-solvers and responsible professionals capable of contributing positively to society and industry. The Department experienced significant growth during the 2021/2022 academic session through the recruitment of additional academic staff, including Senior Lecturers, Lecturer II cadre staff, and Graduate Assistants. During the same period, a serving Lecturer II was promoted to Lecturer I. The Department also produced the maiden edition of its Departmental Handbook to support teaching, learning, research, administration, and student development. A major milestone in the history of the Department occurred on 9 December 2022 when the Departmental Board formally recommended the change of nomenclature from Electronics and Computer Engineering to Electrical and Electronics Engineering. This recommendation was subsequently approved by the National Universities Commission with effect from 29 December 2022. Following the approval, the curriculum was extensively reviewed and expanded to align fully with the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) and the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) requirements for Electrical and Electronics Engineering programmes in Nigeria. Consequently, all students admitted from the 2023/2024 academic session commenced studies under the CCMAS curriculum structure. Another landmark achievement was recorded on 1 October 2022 when Engr. Dr. Ngang Bassey Ngang became the pioneer Head of the newly restructured Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Under his leadership, the Department successfully consolidated the transition from Electronics and Computer Engineering to a fully operational Electrical and Electronics Engineering programme, a process that was fully implemented by January 2024. The Department has since graduated two sets of students and continues to expand in academic strength, research capacity, innovation, and professional relevance. Today, it remains committed to excellence in teaching, research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and community service while producing highly skilled engineers equipped to contribute meaningfully to technological development at both national and global levels. The vision of the Department is to be a leading centre of excellence in higher learning, research, innovation, and professional development in the fields of Electrical, Electronics, Computer, and Telecommunications Engineering. The mission of the Department is to provide high-quality engineering education through undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programmes that combine strong theoretical foundations with practical laboratory experience, innovation, entrepreneurship, and professional ethics, thereby producing graduates capable of contributing meaningfully to society and the engineering profession globally. The philosophy of the Department is anchored on the principle of producing competent, innovative, morally sound, and self-reliant engineers through quality teaching, practical training, research, creativity, and service to humanity. The Department believes in developing engineers who are capable of addressing societal and industrial challenges using modern engineering principles and sustainable technological solutions. To achieve its objectives, the programme incorporates several distinctive features. These include common foundational engineering courses at the 100 and 200 Levels for all engineering students; intensive laboratory practicals, workshop practice, tutorials, and technical training; engineering design projects with emphasis on local applications and problem-solving; strong interaction between students, lecturers, researchers, and industry professionals; final-year research projects supervised in specialized areas of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; opportunities for specialization through elective and optional courses; training in engineering management, entrepreneurship, economics, law, and information technology; and a compulsory six-month supervised industrial training programme during the second semester of the fourth year. The academic programme is designed to challenge students intellectually while encouraging innovation, creativity, originality, and problem-solving abilities. Particular emphasis is placed on strong foundations in engineering sciences during the early years and applied engineering design in the later years of study. The Department is staffed by highly qualified and experienced academics with specializations in Electrical Power Systems Engineering, Control Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Construction Management. It currently has Professors, Associate Professors, Senior Lecturers, Lecturers, Adjunct Academics, Graduate Assistants, and experienced Technologists contributing to teaching, research, and laboratory development. The Department is also supported by experienced technologists and administrative personnel who ensure the smooth operation of laboratories, workshops, practical sessions, and administrative activities. It currently has a growing student population distributed across all undergraduate levels, reflecting the increasing interest in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Department’s reputation for quality engineering education. The Department continues to record remarkable achievements through the accomplishments of its staff and students in academics, research, professional development, and community engagement. Staff members regularly participate in national and international conferences, workshops, and professional gatherings, contributing to the advancement of engineering knowledge and practice. Notably, many academic staff of the Department have attended and presented scholarly papers at the Engineering Annual Conference and other professional forums. The Department also takes pride in the academic excellence of its students, many of whom consistently distinguish themselves in university-wide academic and innovation competitions through outstanding performance and commitment to excellence. As part of its commitment to professional development and engineering ethics, graduating students of the Department are inducted into the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) register immediately after graduation, thereby strengthening their professional identity and readiness for engineering practice.
