Engineering (Electrical and Electronic)

The MSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme covers design, modelling, and test algorithms for complex electrical and electronic assemblies. Software development is an integral part of a modern electronic engineers’ role and to support this, software tools such as VEE, MULTISIM and MATLAB are used extensively in the course.

The usage of electronic, automation and motor drive systems has grown immensely over the past few years in both industrial and domestic applications. This domination is based on recent advances in power electronics, electric motors, and control engineering. It has been observed that almost half of the global electrical energy is consumed today by electric derives and automation systems. Electrical and Electronic engineers are also involved with advanced industrial control including design, software programming and control of embedded systems using microcontrollers and microcomputers.

The telecoms for mobile phone applications requires electronic engineers to provide the development, implementation and maintenances of advanced communication systems and devices. There are also many roles for them in the energy industries, for example, designing and running complex control systems such as those needed to run the National Grid or to control a nuclear power station.
