Aims
To provide in-depth education in the key underpinning topics of electronic and electrical engineering such as electronic circuit theory, electromagnetism, electronic materials, computing, communications and embedded systems.
To offer specialisation in topics in electrical engineering, such as electrical power systems, electric drives, electronic control systems, and renewable energy systems.
To provide a research-led curriculum and learning approaches in all topics, in particular in electrical power systems, electric drives, electronic control systems, and renewable energy systems.
To demonstrate the application of electrical engineering in industry; especially in the power generation, power distribution, electronic vehicle, and industrial control sectors.
To develop students' generic and transferable skills in written/verbal communication, management, leadership and business for careers in engineering or other professions.
To provide extensive practical experience of electronic and electrical engineering through laboratory work and the completion of an extensive independent project in every year of study.
To meet the educational requirements expected of a 4 year Engineering programme, in compliance with UK-SPEC, to contribute to progression to Chartered Membership of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and registration with ECUK as a Chartered Engineer.
