Electronics and Electrical Engineering (MEng)H601

From the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies. Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages. It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms. Electrical engineering concerns much larger currents and voltages - usually for the purpose of generating and transmitting electrical power. In an Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) degree, you will study both areas with the opportunity to specialise in later years. We deliver this content across several themes: electrical powerdigital electronicsanalogue electronicsmicroelectronicselectromagnetics and photonicsbioelectronicssensor networks and data analysis Studying this field requires a clear understanding of physics and the broader system it operates in. This programme balances practical experimentation with theoretical: studiescomputationsimulation You will learn to work independently and collaboratively to find ingenious solutions to modern engineering problems. TheMEngElectronics and Electrical Engineering degree is relevant to those wishing to pursue a career as a professional engineer in industry. It combines more advanced study than ourBEngdegree, with a greater emphasis on industrial skills. You will also get the opportunity to work in an industrial company while you carry out yourMEngproject in Years 4 and 5. Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has influenced our curriculum and programme development. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to undertake a six-month placement in industry or at an overseas research institution, university or company. You’ll benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics?. We have strong links to industry (particularly in microelectronics) with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum, internships and the opportunity of a project placement?. You’ll benefit from a balanced curriculum covering theoretical and practical skills and individual and group work?. You will have access to state of the art laboratory facilities including:? industry standard software and hardware?in-person and remote labs? All our degree programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. We are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create. For example, the electronics and electrical engineering discipline supports an 'Electronics After Hours Club'. This allows you to develop your own extra-curricular projects in a supportive environment. (Revised 9 May 2024 to reflect curriculum renewal changes) Accredited by the Institution of Engineering Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees. An accredited degree is also likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
