Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)
About this course
MEng/BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, an engineering degree centred on the design, analysis, and application of electrical and electronic circuits, systems, and power networks. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students can optionally undertake an industrial placement year or a year abroad, and the course includes practical engineering projects and partnerships with industry. The first year covers the foundations through Engineering Programming and Applications, Engineering Mathematics, Analogue Circuit Design, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering Principles. The second year builds competence via Embedded Systems Design and Manufacturing, Digital Circuits and Systems Design, Electrical Engineering and Machines, and Signals and Systems. Year three introduces an Individual Project Design and Realisation alongside Power Electronics and Power Systems and Signal Processing and Machine Learning, with optional study in Control Systems or Communication Systems Engineering. The fourth year of the MEng pathway includes the Industrial Group Project, Control and Signal Processing, and Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Drives.
