The BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering course gives students a sound technological understanding in the field of electrical and electronic engineering. With access to modern engineering tools and a hi-tech laboratory environment, students will learn the latest skills and knowledge in digital signal processing, microelectronic and VLSI (very-large-scale integration) design practice, robotics and neural networks, power systems applications, and advanced power conversion and control application trends.
On this undergraduate course, students will have the exciting opportunity to study abroad or work in industry for a year, boosting their CV and employment prospects. Learners from the School of Engineering and Technology have previously completed work placement years at companies including Airbus Space and Defence, Bosch Thermotechnology and Microsoft. Also, during the final year, they'll carry out an individual double-module project on a topic relevant to electrical and/or electronic engineering.
The broad-based skills acquired during the BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering course will equip students to enter a wide range of electrical and electronics sectors. Previous graduates have found employment in medical electronics, power generation and distribution industries, communications, avionics and automotive electronics, with many successfully moving into management positions within a few years. They have joined organizations like Vodafone, Mitsubishi Electric and Stansted Airport. Some have also opted to extend their studies to the postgraduate level.
