AEI's engineering training programme develops deployment-ready engineers in embedded systems, IoT, and smart energy. Every module is laboratory-based from the first session and concludes with a working, documented hardware system.
AEI's training programme is built around the same hardware systems that AEI designs and deploys commercially. Every concept is demonstrated through laboratory practice on the same day it is introduced. Graduates leave with a documented, working system they can present to any employer or institution.
This isn't a classroom course. It's practical engineering training designed to produce engineers who can go straight into hardware design, installation, and support roles from the first week after graduating.
Every engineer who completes an AEI module graduates with a working hardware project and a documented technical portfolio: demonstrable evidence of practical engineering capability.

Choose the track that fits your level. All modules are stackable, so you can go as deep as you want.
The entry point for all AEI trainees. Master analogue and digital circuit fundamentals, PCB layout, component identification, and test equipment operation.
Program ESP32 and Arduino microcontrollers from scratch. Write clean firmware, interface sensors, and build IoT devices that solve real problems.
Design and deploy end-to-end IoT solutions. Build cloud-connected systems, real-time dashboards, and data-driven monitoring platforms.
Design, install, and monitor solar systems, smart prepaid meters, and energy management platforms. Focused on off-grid and unreliable grid environments.
Build relay-based control systems, automate lighting and climate, design home security, and deploy industrial process automation systems.
Develop a publishable hardware project from concept to prototype. Learn technical writing, research methodology, and how to document engineering work to publication standard.
Certification is a baseline outcome. What distinguishes AEI graduates is a documented portfolio, demonstrated technical confidence, and practical experience diagnosing and resolving real hardware failures. Every module develops all three.
Every classroom concept is reinforced through a laboratory session conducted on the same day. Trainees work with real components and professional test equipment from the first session.
Every module concludes with a working hardware project rather than a written examination. Trainees diagnose and resolve real engineering failures during the build process.
Trainees are mentored by AEI's practising engineers: the same engineers who design and deploy the systems featured in the curriculum.
Each module produces a documented and photographed hardware project. Graduates have a technical portfolio ready for presentation to employers or clients from the day they complete training.
AEI's programme is open to individual engineers and institutions. We also work with universities as a SWEP and SIWES delivery partner.
BSc/HND graduates in engineering or related fields who want to move from theory to hands-on hardware skills.
Students who want practical experience alongside their degree and to graduate with real projects in their portfolio.
Corps members who want to use their service year to build real engineering skills they can take anywhere.
Technicians and junior engineers who want to build on what they already know, or formalise skills they've picked up on the job.
AEI partners with universities, polytechnics, and development organisations to deliver structured practical engineering training. We've delivered SWEP practical sessions at the Faculty of Engineering, Southern Delta University for two consecutive years.
AEI provides structured SIWES placements offering laboratory access, mentored project work, and formal assessment aligned to programme requirements.
AEI served as external resource organisation for the Faculty of Engineering, Southern Delta University, Ozoro, delivering SWEP practical training in both 2024 and 2025.
AEI provides technical supervision for undergraduate and postgraduate final-year projects, covering hardware design, firmware development, circuit review, and technical writing guidance.
AEI provides technical co-supervision for engineering projects requiring embedded systems, IoT, energy systems, or automation expertise, bringing industry-standard engineering practice into the academic research environment.
AEI is available for SWEP delivery, SIWES hosting, curriculum collaboration, and engineering project supervision engagements.
