Programme overview

Main Subject

Engineering - Electrical and Electronic

Degree

BEng

Study Level

Undergraduate

Study Mode

On Campus

This course aims to prepare graduates to contribute to the electronic and electrical power industry. The course will develop theoretical and practical skills in electronics, power and renewable energy engineering which are widely sought after across the wider engineering sector. Year 1 provides an understanding of fundamental electrical and electronic engineering principles. It equips students with additional mathematical skills, identifies the potential of computer-based information handling, analysis and graphics, and develops the skills necessary for effective communication. Topics covered include electrical circuits, engineering mathematics, electrical systems, electrical technology, design and CAE and professional studies. Year 2 builds on those skills developed in year 1. Students’ analytical skills are enhanced through their involvement in a wide range of engineering situations and roles. In the field, engineers will be expected to prepare project specifications, undertake research, create test procedures, write reports and interpret data. Modules offered are: control theory and applications, engineering analysis, electrical services, microprocessor design, power and communications. Year 3 Industrial placement. The third year is spent on Industrial Placement, an integral and compulsory part of the course. The student works as a trainee engineer in a relevant company and is paid an attractive salary. During placement, students develop key skills including project management, leadership and communication, as well as commercial awareness, which are crucial to being a professional electrical engineer. Year 4 Students in their final year will study topics which include industrial automations and control, design, industrial applications and undertake a final year project. The course is accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) which contributes to achieving Chartered Engineer status. Year 1 students on this course are eligible to apply for the NIE Networks Scholarship.
