About us

We strive for excellence in both research and teaching in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

 

The Department of Electrical Engineering forms part of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Malta. We are at the forefront of research and lecturing, driving innovation in collaboration with local and international industrial partners and academic institutions.

 

Core Teaching Responsibilities:

We coordinate and teach study-units within the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Our curriculum guides students from foundational concepts to advanced specialized applications:

  • First Year: Basic circuit theory and fundamental engineering principles.

  • Second Year: Power electronics and core theoretical/practical components.

  • Third & Fourth Years: Advanced modules including Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Sources, Power Electronic Converters, and Electrical Machines and Drives.

  • Final Year: Dedicated supervision of undergraduate research dissertations.

 

Our Research Focus:

Our academic staff and postgraduate students (M.Phil., M.Sc. by research, and Ph.D.) conduct state-of-the-art research across several key areas:

  • Electrical Drives and Electric Transportation

  • Renewable Energy Systems for Grid Integration

  • Microgrids and Smart Grids

  • Energy Storage Systems

  • Energy Management Systems and Building Flexibility in Domestic, Commercial, and Industrial Applications

  • Advanced Power Converters, Power Quality, and EMC
