Course summary

In this high-tech and forward-thinking world, Electrical Engineers are essential to the innovation of our daily lives and the future. With this comes responsibility to minimise the environmental damage currently being done, that’s why sustainability is an integral part of this course. Whether you’re designing parts of a performance car, a space craft, or a new medical device, you’ll learn the skills to become an engineer capable of imagining and creating ground-breaking products. Why study at BNU? Led by a dedicated teaching team with a wealth of experience within, you’ll benefit from their insider-knowledge and the professional-network they bring with them. Our array of industry practitioners and working alumni will be involved in delivering guest lectures, masterclasses and workshops, site visits and where possible, contribute to the assessment of your work. During your three year degree programme you'll learn hands-on practical skills to help you stand out to potential employers. You’ll get to grips with industry-standard equipment including Zero Energy Systems, Power electronics, Machines and Drives, Industry 4.0, Mechatronic, Robotics, PLC and electro-mechanical rigs to provide real-time hands-on experiences - ensuring upon graduation you are prepared for your exciting future career. Delivered through lectures, tutorials, laboratory and studio-based work, each of the modules you study will help to build your identity and specialist knowledge as an Electrical & Electronic Engineer. You will also work closely with other students across a range of disciplines allowing you to experience the professional structures you will be a part of in the workplace. Local to the University are high tech business clusters and with London only a short train ride away, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with representatives from industry during your course. What facilities can I use? We have a range of state-of-the-art-facilities for you to get hands-on with, here you’ll have access to Digital technologies and industry standard software including Autodesk ECAD and MCAD software, MATLAB Simulink and SolidWorks. You’ll develop essential skills within our Electrical and Electronic Suite and the Engineering IT Studio, using programmes such as Matlab-simulink, AutoCAD (electrical), 3d Studio Max, Rhino and Photoshop through structured lessons in the IT/CAD suites and studios. You’ll also get hands-on with programming digital assets, 3D printing, robotics and automation, and augmented reality (AR) technology. What will I learn? This practical and hands-on course incorporates innovation and creativity at every stage of learning. During your time with us you’ll gain an extensive knowledge and critical understanding of professional ethics, social and cultural values in engineering. You’ll study the principles, characteristics, control design requirements and applications of instrumentation and power systems used in industry. During your time with us you’ll create, simulate, build and test prototype circuits and systems using printed circuit boards, MATLAB Simulink, LTSpice and electronic laboratory equipment. Modules are centred around industrial systems, analogue, digital and power electronics with basic engineering. With a focus on sustainability, you’ll learn skills to help you identify and solve electrical engineering problems, whilst meeting the needs of the industry and the forward-thinking sector. Graduates of this course will be able to use a sound, evidence-based approach in applying innovative technologies, processes and systems and leadership skills to transform ideas into fully functioning real products, individually and working as a team, by meeting client, financial, environmental, quality, statutory and safety objectives.
