| Degree/Award: | Bachelor |
Electrical and electronic engineers design and create devices, systems and equipment which use electrical energy. Electrical and electronic engineering encompasses a broad range of fields concerned with leading edge technologies in many applications: from the electric motors used in hybrid vehicles to microelectronic computer chips; from collision avoidance sensors for cars to the complex control systems of unmanned aircraft; from design of nano-scale devices to coding and manipulation of multimedia information; from the design of networking protocols to ultra-high bandwidth communication systems.
This program embraces both electrical and electronic engineering and hence provides graduates with a wide range of fundamental knowledge in core disciplines such as communications, control systems, signal processing, radio frequency design, micro-processors, micro-electronics, power generation and electrical machines. Emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates will be able to learn and seamlessly adapt to new technologies when they emerge to face future challenges.
Electrical and Electronic engineers require a sound understanding of mathematics and physics as well as a wide range of electrical and electronic technologies. They should be able to apply fundamental principles of maths, physics and electricity so that they can learn and use new technologies in this rapidly evolving discipline. In this program students spend time gaining a deeper understanding of maths, physics, and computer programming while being introduced to basic principles of electricity and electronics. Throughout the program the emphasis will shift towards learning new and more advanced electrical and electronics technologies. Final year provides the opportunity to specialise in a particular area by studying advanced courses such as electric energy systems, power electronics and motor drives, telecommunications, microelectronics or radio frequency engineering, and by completing a project on a specialist topic. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved work experience at some time during their four years of study.
