Programmer Objectives
The overall aims of the programmer are to:
- Produce graduates with an enthusiasm for electrical and electronic engineering, an appreciation of its application in different contexts and to involve them in an intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying.
- Produce graduates with knowledge of the importance of electrical and electronic engineering in an industrial, environmental, academic, economic and social context.
- Produce graduates with the ability to apply a variety of methods of study in the investigation and analysis of problems in electrical and electronic engineering.
- Produce graduates with the electrical and electronic engineering knowledge and skills required to critically evaluate information, assumptions, arguments and concepts for solving real engineering problems.
- Produce graduates with the qualities and skills for employ ability, enabling them to either pursue programmers of further study and research, or to move directly into their chosen employment in industry and/or consulting/research organisation where they will manage their own continuous professional development.
Distinctive Features
This degree programmer embraces a broad spectrum of electrical and electronic engineering activities ranging from digital electronics and communications to power distribution. This broad base enables graduates to gain employment in a wide range of industries but is particularly useful for employment in traditional manufacturing, process or power industries.
