Electrical and Electronic Engineering

This programme allows students to develop engineering knowledge and understanding to apply technical and practical skills. It provides the opportunity to contribute towards design via practical and project based work, accept and exercise personal responsibility and use effective communication and interpersonal skills. Students will initially study a range of underpinning theories covering science, mathematics, electrical and electronic principles, management theory and design and microprocessor control. Candidates will then progress onto more advanced applications of the theories in areas including Electrical Power, Analogue and Digital Electronics and Industrial Control and Mechatronics. Students will also undertake a Work-Based Project to practically demonstrate the essential management and research skills required at this level of study and within the workplace. This will be driven by close liaison with employers to ensure that delivery is both current and relevant, thus enhancing the employability skills of students.
