Electronic and Electrical Engineering with a Year in Industry

Course summary

At Swansea we pride ourselves in offering teaching and academic research that are vital to the electronic and electrical engineering industry, and keep up with this fast-paced and evolving field, including: Semiconductors and Nanotechnology(e.g., Atomistic and Device Modelling, Semiconductor Materials and Devices, Microelectromechanical and Nanoelectromechanical Systems, and Nanoelectronics) Energy and Power Engineering(e.g., Advanced Power Electronics, Renewable Energy and Microgrid, Power Systems, Control Systems and Robotics) Communications, Systems and Software(e.g., Artificial Intelligence, Mobile Networks, Antennas, Internet of Things, Micro-satellites, Analogue & Digital Circuit Design, and Advanced Web Technologies) Our state-of-the-art facilities inform much of our teaching and research. You can gain practical experience working with specialist and industry-standard measuring equipment, microcontroller boards, digital oscilloscopes, soldering stations, signal generators and engineering software. You will become familiar with several laboratories, from our electronic/electrical teaching laboratory and the PCB fabrication facility, to multi-million-pound facilities including:

  • The Wolfson Power Electronics and Power Systems Laboratory (PEPS) - home to our renewable energy demonstration testbed, motor control rig, power device characterisation equipment, semiconductor analyser, probe station for power electronic devices and device reliability test rig
  • The 6G AI Antenna communications lab - undertaking cutting-edge research for UK / EU / US tier 1 companies for modern wireless devices and vehicles
  • The Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) - an institute for semiconductor R&D, housing facilities for precise semiconductor growth, ISO-grade cleanrooms for electronic and photonic device fabrication, nanoscale material characterisation tools, and bare and packaged device testing equipment
You'll work in a thriving research environment where internationally renowned research is undertaken in our three flagship areas of Semiconductors and Nanotechnology, Energy and Power Engineering, and Communications, Systems and Software.

Modules

In Year 1, you will typically study areas including: Engineering for People Hackathon, Analogue Design, Circuit Analysis, Digital Design, Instrumentation and Control, Engineering Mathematics (EEE, General and Mech), Power Engineering, Introduction to Electromagnetics. In Year 2, you will typically study areas including: AI, Machine Learning and Data Analysis, Electrical Machines, Electronic Materials and Devices, Embedded System Design, Research Project Preparation, Applied Electromagnetics, Digital Signal Processing, Electronic Circuits Laboratory.
