About this course

The MEng Hons in Electronic and Electrical Engineering is an undergraduate degree within the Electrical and Electronic Engineering subject area. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The first year is shared across engineering specialisations, and the final year features a substantial individual project on a topic chosen by the student. The first year covers core engineering principles through compulsory modules such as Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Engineering Skills, Engineering Systems, Engineering Thermofluids, and Fundamental Engineering Mathematics. Year 2 advances into specialist areas with modules including Control and Robotics, Digital Electronics and Software, Electrical Circuits and Analogue Electronics, Electromagnetism and Communications, Electronics Materials and Manufacturing, and Power Engineering. Year 3 builds further technical depth via Digital Signal Processing, Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, Engineering Project, High Frequency Circuit Engineering and Communications, and Power Electronics and Applications. The final year combines compulsory work like Individual Project and Industrial Consultancy with optional choices spanning Advanced Embedded Systems, Advanced RF Engineering, Control and Machine Learning, Electric Vehicles, Electrical Power Systems, and Mechatronics and Control Engineering.
