Programme Overview

Electronic and electrical engineering principles lie at the heart of some of the world’s largest industries. Combining core topics across electronic engineering with specialist modules, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to work in a wide range of careers across the electronic and electrical engineering sectors.

You will develop your knowledge of the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin electronic and electrical engineering, as well as key topics like circuit design and communications networks. Specialist modules will allow you to build on this foundation in areas like power electronics, energy conversion, control circuits and electric drives.

The aim of this programme is to equip you with the skills you need to succeed in industry, including design, problem-solving, numeracy and analysis skills, together with ‘transferable skills’, such as communication and working as a team. You will also develop capabilities in cross-cultural exchange and a knowledge of international cooperation and competition. Due to the nature of the electronics industry, the demand for high calibre electronic and electrical engineering graduates is high and wide-ranging employment opportunities exist both in large multinational corporations and small start-up companies working on next-generation products and technologies.

In each year of study, you will have the opportunity to develop your proficiency in the English language in order to be able to read, listen, write, and speak English fluently in relation to Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

Students on this programme will simultaneously take the XJTU and UoL degrees. Successful students will be eligible for the award of both degrees.

Learning Outcomes

As an engineering degree programme, the primary learning outcomes are aligned with the educational requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer with ECUK. For BEng programmes, some further learning will be required; MEng programmes meet the educational requirements for professional registration in full. This applies to programmes accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). The accreditation status of this programme may be confirmed by contacting the School.

The subjects studied in the programme modules are designed to meet these learning outcomes while focussing on the key topics which are relevant to the programme theme.

On successful completion of the three-year BEng programme, students will be able to:"
- Demonstrate detailed knowledge and understanding of the science, mathematics and engineering principles which underpin the discipline, including some which are at the forefront of the subject.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply scientific, mathematical and engineering principles, and also computational and analytical techniques and models, in order to solve complex engineering problems and reach substantiated conclusions.
- Demonstrate the ability to select, use and evaluate technical literature, and recognise the limitations of knowledge in the discipline.
- Demonstrate the ability to design solutions to complex problems, and carry out extended engineering projects, considering a range of societal, user and commercial factors, and industry standards.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems.
- Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the economic, social, legal, ethical and environmental impacts of engineering, making appropriate decisions informed by professional codes of conduct.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply the techniques of risk management in order to deal with technical uncertainty in engineering projects, and mitigate the effects of security risks.
- Demonstrate the ability to use a range of practical and laboratory skills, in order to solve complex engineering problems, selecting appropriate materials, equipment and processes, recognising their limitations.
- Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of quality management systems, and demonstrate the ability to apply professional project management skills.
- Demonstrate the ability to work effectively, exercising initiative, decision-making skills and personal responsibility, individually and as a member of a team.
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively both the results of their own work and other complex information, to specialist and non-specialist audiences, in a variety of forms.
- Demonstrate the ability to manage and extend their own learning and professional development, and the transferable skills necessary for employment within the engineering sector.
