Electronic Engineering

Highlights: Our BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. We offer free IET student membership during your studies. Start your journey to Chartered status. Degree fully meets the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer, partly meeting the academic requirement for Chartered Engineer registration. Hands-on approach to teaching with extensive laboratory work. You’ll experience industry-standard techniques and cutting-edge equipment, from clean rooms to optical communications testbeds. Taught by practising professional engineers and scientists, you’ll develop scientific and engineering knowledge, with the professional, analytical and problem-solving skills to solve future engineering issues. Broad-based curriculum covers engineering mathematics, electromagnetics, programming, embedded systems, circuit design (analog and digital), control systems, microelectronics and nanophotonics. Course Overview: Combining contemporary theory and industrial best practices, teaching of the BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering draws on the expertise of staff who come from and maintain their links with industry. Students tells us they particularly like the breadth and depth of our curriculum, which covers both traditional engineering and more modern aspects, like digital and ‘green’ skills. You’ll study all the core subjects: electronic materials, electrical power systems, electronics, instrumentation, microelectronics, computing and communications. Recognising the key role that electrical and electronic engineering will play in transitioning to a green economy, for example, you’ll consider how sustainability can factor into project planning and management. Staff will share the latest insight from their investigations into low carbon energy sources (wind, solar, marine and nuclear), all of which operate within the region. During the degree, you will gain extensive practical experience to ensure that you develop sound practical skills as well as a thorough theoretical knowledge. From the start, there are opportunities to apply your learning to real-life scenarios, building the same skills you’ll use to tackle workplace projects. For the Electronics Team Project module, for example, you’ll use well-known frameworks for innovation and design, including McKinney’s FIRE and the Toyota Production System. The many interesting projects completed by students include building a smart kettle and a robotic arm from scratch with 3D printed parts, a vibration monitor for power tools, tool finders for aircrafts, and a smart wristband to detect falls for care homes and hospitals. Final-year individual projects, often conducted in collaboration with a company, give you a unique insight into problems associated with the many diverse industries which rely on electrical engineering. Previous projects have ranged from mobile communications systems and networks, 5G and 5G+ to keratin-based electronics, electroactive polymers for robotic applications, and nuclear reactor engineering and design.
