Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Industrial)
About this course
MEng, BEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Industrial), an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on technical and practical engineering applications. Core topics include Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, and Control Systems. This five-year programme includes an industrial placement year. The first year covers foundational principles through modules such as Circuit Analysis and Design, Physics of Electronic Devices, and Digital Electronics and Microcontrollers alongside an Electronic Design Project. The second year progresses to Electronic Circuit and Systems design, Transistors and Optoelectronic Devices, and an Embedded Systems Project. The third year involves advanced study in RF and Microwave Systems, Electric Machines, and Control Systems, alongside an Individual Engineering Project and Professional Studies. The final fifth year includes a Team Engineering Project and specialized topics such as Autonomous search-and-rescue robot, FPGA Design for System-On-Chip, and Modern Industry Practice.
