Electronics and Electrical Engineering (BEng)H600

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 theoretical studies, computation and simulation with practical experimentation. You will learn to work independently and collaboratively to find clever solutions to modern engineering problems. Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has influenced our curriculum and programme development. 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 and internships?. 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 an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a master's degree or doctorate accredited as further learning forCEngto hold accredited qualifications forCEngregistration. 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.
