BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Queen Mary University of London
About this course
BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on the creation and analysis of modern electronic systems and technologies. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Data Analysis, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students can opt for a credit-bearing summer internship between the second and final year. The foundation year establishes core mathematical and scientific principles through modules such as Further Mathematics, Foundations of Engineering, and Mathematics B. The first year introduces foundational engineering principles through modules including Digital Circuit Design, Programming Fundamentals for Engineers, and Analogue Electronic Systems. The second year progresses into specialized technical topics featuring Microprocessor Systems Design, Power Systems Analysis, and Design and Build Project in Electronic Engineering. Later stages allow students to pursue advanced topics and optional projects through modules such as Embedded Systems, Control Systems, and Integrated Circuit Design.
