BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Year 1

From the start of your studies, you will find that there is an emphasis on learning by doing. Group project work will enable you to develop your problem solving and communication skills and you'll use our well-equipped laboratories to develop your knowledge and practical problem solving skills. In our integrating project you'll bring together structured design procedures for both hardware and software.

Core modules

• BPIE112 Stage 1 Electrical/Robotics Placement Preparation

• ELEC141 Analogue Electronics

• ELEC142 Digital Electronics

• ELEC143 Embedded Software in Context

• ELEC144 Electrical Principles and Machines

• MATH190 Engineering Mathematics

Optional modules

• ELEC145 Electronic Design and Build

• ROCO104 Robot Design and Build

Year 2

In Year 2 you will develop a greater understanding of underlying engineering principles and circuit design methods. Again, there is an emphasis on team work and you will have opportunity to do both group and individual presentations of your projects. You'll have the opportunity to use industrial standard software tools for design and simulation, which is great preparation for your final year individual project or for a placement year.

Core modules
