The University of Nigeria, Nsukka started teaching Electronic Engineering as a programme in 1981 when the Department of Electronic Engineering was split from the then existing Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering to focus on the area such as computer organization, communication, instrumentation and electronic circuits.
The institution is the first in Nigeria to have separate department for teaching Electronic Engineering thereby putting all it's resources in training and equipping students with the basic skill needed in research, design and development of electronic circuits, integrated circuits, electronics devices and system and more by utilizing nonlinear and an active electrical components.
