Course summary

As technology moves forwards, electrical and electronic engineering is becoming of significant importance, featuring heavily in all areas including - but not limited to - electric vehicles, manufacturing, power generation, transmission and distribution networks, smart devices, communication and information systems. To support the need to reduce carbon emissions, the new generation of engineers must be able to understand current and emerging technologies. The sustainability of modern life is dependent upon the reduction of carbon emissions through increased energy efficiency of electrical devices and the use of electric vehicles. Through this degree programme you will gain an understanding of key aspects of a range of concepts, principles, and technologies associated with electrical and electronic engineering, some of which are at the forefront of the discipline. You will learn to apply appropriate technologies, techniques and tools to resolve problems or to meet a set of requirements and identify problems or tasks, and design solutions with appropriate documentation, that shows an ability to draw on supporting evidence and to communicate effectively. This programme will also nurture the discussion of applications, concepts, principles, techniques and theory and develop your understanding of the quantitative methods and mathematical principles related to electrical and electronic engineering. You will also be taught about the integration of appropriate design, technology and commercial aspects in order to develop environmentally sustainable, innovative, targeted solutions to problems.
