ENGINEERING
(ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC)
OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAMME
Electrical & Electronic engineering is now an important part of many cutting-edge industries.
In the automotive industry, for example, electrical & electronic engineers are required to design engine control units, dashboard indicators, air-conditioning, safety, braking, and infotainment systems.
Electrical & Electronic engineers are also involved with signalling and advanced railway control systems, as well as telecoms, for mobile phone applications. There are also many roles for them in the energy industries, for example, designing and running complex control systems such as those needed to run the National Grid or to control a nuclear power station.
Electrical & Electronic engineering graduates are also desired for the fast-moving consumer goods industry e.g. development of the latest smart screens and the use of intelligent transducers in both industrial and home automation environment.
To prepare students for these fast-changing roles, the programme covers design, modelling and test algorithms for complex assemblies. Analysis of circuit design for both low and high frequencies is an important element of the course content.
Software development is an integral part of a modern Electrical & Electronic Engineers role and to support this, software tools such as VEE, MULTI SIM and MATLAB are used extensively in the course. Consideration of sustainability, compliance with RoHS directives and obsolescence solutions are also considered.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
