Programmer Objective

The overall aims of the programmer are to:

• Produce graduates with an enthusiasm for electrical and electronic engineering, a wide appreciation of its application in different contexts and to involve them in an intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying in depth.
• Produce graduates with the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding in order to be competitive and innovative to exploit opportunities.
• Produce graduates with the electrical and electronic engineering knowledge and skills required to critically evaluate information, assumptions and concepts to make argued conclusions and informed judgement for solving real engineering problems and continuous improvement.
• Produce graduates with the professional qualities and skills for employ ability enabling them to either pursue programmers of high level research or to move directly into their chosen employment in industry and/or consulting/research organisation where they will become the problem solvers, innovators and leaders of the future.

Distinctive Features

The course embraces a broad spectrum of electrical and electronic engineering activities ranging from digital electronics to power systems and machine control. These together with broadening options such as risk management, product design, CAD/CAM, and control provide graduates with a wide range of skills and will enable them to and gain employment in a wide range of industries, especially in the manufacturing or process industries.

At year 4, all modules will normally include some form of mini design project based on a realistic engineering situation. This provides students with the opportunity to experience the project driven environment, typical of the commercial world.

Study Overseas

Upon successful completion and passing of year 1 and year 2, students will have an opportunity to study at Teesside University UK campus for year 3 and year 4 of the programmer. Fees and details to be advised.
