Electrical Engineering and Automation BEng (Hons)

Top↑Program Description

Why choose to study this program?

This programme will equip you with a fundamental understanding of electrical engineering theory and the ability to solve engineering problems relating to power generation, transmission, distribution, control, detection, protection and consumption.  The programme blends the fundamentals of electrical and electronic at level 1 with more specialist knowledge in the final year.  The subjects range from digital electronics to power electronics, from power generation to computer systems and integrated circuits.

By the time you graduate, you should:

• have acquired a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering
• possess knowledge and skills in mathematics, software engineering, design and management
• possess transferable skills of analysis, problem solving, communications, team-working and project management.

What will I study? 

At level 1, you will study the following core subjects:

• electronic and electrical circuits
• C and C++ programming and software engineering
• engineering mathematics
• electromagnetism and drives
• digital electronics
• integrated electronics and design
• experimental methods

At level 2, you will build on this foundation and learn about:

• electronic circuits and systems
• continuous and discrete time signals and systems
• power electronics and electromechanics
• energy conversion and power systems
• instrumentation
• control systems

In the final year, you will receive training in project management and undertake a research project, spanning both semesters.  Alongside this, you will further develop your knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering and, in particular power generation and transmission.

Main Courses

Circuit Theory, Fundamentals of Electronic Technology, Electrical Machinery, Power Electronics, Electric Traction and Control, Computer Technology, Signals ans Systems, Control Theory

Internship and Career Development

Graduates can find work in a variety of industrial settings as, for example: broadcast engineers, control and instrumentation engineers, electronic engineers or process engineers.  You will also find the quantitative and transferable skills equip you for a wide variety of roles in other sectors, such as banking and finance.
