UndergraduateCourse summary
From transport and renewable energy to aerospace and robotics, this degree equips you with the sought-after skills to work at the forefront of new and emerging technologies. The course, accredited by the Engineering Council, explores how electrical engineers shape the future of these sectors through innovation and design. You will: Have access to electronic design and testing labs, power electronics labs, programmable logic controllers (PLC) labs and computer-aided design (CAD) labs. Gain practical experience on industry-standard software packages, developing skills that are sought-after by industry. Be equipped with analytical, computational, design and transferable skills, including an awareness of social, environmental and ethical implications. Benefit from strong links to local and national industry, with opportunities for site visits. Focus on specialisms within Power, Electronics, Instrumentation and Control. Be able to tailor your module choices to specialise in either Electrical or Electronic Engineering, depending on your goals and interests. Study a course where 85.7% of graduates are in paid work or study 15 months after graduating* * WGU analysis of unpublished data. This course is also available with a foundation year BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering (with foundation year) UCAS Code: H603
Modules
YEAR 1 (LEVEL 4) The Level 4 modules will lay the foundations for the rest of your degree programme and will equip you with the core theoretical and practical skills you will need to complete the remaining years of study successfully. MODULES Engineering Mathematics Introduction to Electrical and Mechanical Science CAD and Production Science Engineering Professional Development Problem Solving with Programming Analogue & Digital Electronics YEAR 2 (LEVEL 5) In this year you will specialise in your chosen route. You will study a combination of core modules and either the electrical or electronic modules at Level 5, depending on your chosen route of study. MODULES Further Engineering Mathematics Engineering Futures – Research, Ethics and Sustainability Intelligent Control System Design Electrical Power Engineering Industrial Automations & PLCs Embedded Systems YEAR 3 (Industry Placement) This module aims to provide you with the opportunity to gain valuable experience of the engineering-related workplace via first-hand experience. It will allow you to undertake a sustained period, embedded with a host employer, to work on one or more defined projects or goals. You will be expected to find and secure a suitable placement opportunity. The Industrial Placement will normally take place during the normal academic year, as if over the two normal University semesters. As such its duration should normally be in the region of 20-40 weeks dependent on working hours. YEAR 4 (LEVEL 6) The focus of your final year will be your supervised engineering project. This will give you the opportunity to showcase the engineering skills that you’ve developed in the previous years. The rest of the Level 6 credits for your final year will comprise of either electrical or electronic modules, depending on your chosen route of study. MODULES Project (40 credits) Professional Engineering Electronic Design and Testing Digital Signal Processing Electrical Route (optional) Power Electronics and Electrical Machines Electronic Route (optional) Wireless Communication and Antennas The information listed in this section is an overview of the academic content of the programme that will take the form of either core or option modules. Modules are designated as core or option in accordance with professional body requirements and internal academic framework review, so may be subject to change.
