PDU (PEB) – Pending approval

Effective from AY2025/26 Trimester 2 (January 2026), the Postgraduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will be transiting to Graduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. For more details, please refer to the full notice here.

Electrification is the process of powering by electricity. It is usually associated with switching from another power source and has been regarded as "the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century".

This module is intended to provide participants with new knowledge and competency in modern electrification techniques and applications in the built environment and land transportation. Real-life applied research projects will be demonstrated to give students first-hand information on electrification technologies. The contents of this module are delivered in three focused areas: modern electrification technologies, advanced electrification for land transportation, and advanced electrification for the built environment.

Who Should Attend

  • Engineers working in the power and energy sector
  • Railway electrical power supply and propulsion professionals
  • Electrical and electronic engineering professionals
  • Researchers and educators in electrical engineering and urban sustainability-related areas
Prerequisites
  • Bachelor degree in Engineering
  • At least one-year of relevant working experience
