Electrical & Electronic Engineering

As technology advances, electrical and electronic engineering is becoming more important. This field is crucial in many areas, such as electric vehicles, manufacturing, power generation, transmission and distribution networks, smart devices, and communication and information systems. New engineers must understand both current and emerging technologies to help reduce carbon emissions.

Sustainability of modern life is dependent upon the reduction of carbon emissions through increased energy efficiency of electrical devices and the use of electric vehicles. This degree programme will help you understand key aspects of various concepts, principles, and technologies related to electrical and electronic engineering, some of which are leading the field.

You will learn to use the right technologies, techniques, and tools to solve problems or meet specific needs. You will also identify tasks and design solutions with appropriate documentation, showing your ability to support your ideas with evidence and to communicate effectively.

This course encourages discussing applications, concepts, principles, techniques, and theory. It will develop your understanding of quantitative methods and mathematical principles related to electrical and electronic engineering. You will also learn about integrating design, technology, and commercial aspects to create environmentally sustainable and innovative solutions to problems.

Throughout the course, you will develop analytical abilities and use advanced specialist equipment. You will participate in practical activities, and have opportunities to gain first-hand experience using the best technology, supported by our strong industry connections. You will tackle authentic engineering problems and work on industry-focused scenarios, both individually and in groups.

By the end of the programme, you will have the skills and knowledge to pursue a successful career in electrical and electronic engineering, equipped with the ability to develop innovative solutions for a sustainable future.

The School of Applied Computing aims to produce graduates that help shape the future of electrical and electronic engineering. The course content is contemporary and shaped for employability through close links with local and national employers.

Students are assessed through a combination of laboratory-based practicals, assignments, presentations, projects and examinations. Module assessment is often by assignment, or assignment and examination. The final mark for some modules may include one or more pieces of coursework set and completed during the module. Project work is assessed by a written report and presentation.

Students are encouraged to use our links with Software Alliance Wales and Go Wales to work on commercial schemes for their Major Project module. Go Wales provides the opportunity of paid work placements with local businesses.
