About SEES Unilag

Also established in the foundational 1964/1965 academic session, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (encompassing Computer Engineering) is the engine driving Nigeria's digital and power infrastructure. The curriculum covers circuit theory, power systems, control theory, telecommunications, and increasingly, artificial intelligence and software engineering.

A monumental milestone in the department's history was the 2022 commissioning of a N70 million Digital Engineering Laboratory, donated by Siemens Energy. This end-to-end facility allows students to model complex power grids and automation processes in an industrial-grade simulation environment.

The student body operates through the Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Students (SEES) and a highly active IEEE Student Branch. SEES-UNILAG acts as an incubator for tech talent, hosting the SEES Innovation Hub, hackathons, and hardware workshops. The IEEE chapter frequently hosts high-level events, such as the IEEE Innovation Event on "Smart Grid Technologies." This environment breeds unparalleled excellence; a prime example is Arthur Enwelum, who graduated as the best student in EEE with a near-perfect 4.80/5.00 CGPA while serving as the IEEE Student Branch Robotics Team assistant lead.
