Educational Aims of the Course

To provide fundamental knowledge in and develop an understanding of the theory and practice of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. To provide opportunities for collaborative and individual student-centred study on project tasks that simulate real working practices in order to develop analytical, critical and problem solving skills such that they can define, investigate and analyse problems, form judgements, make decisions and demonstrate the acquisition of such qualities. To provide a well-balanced education which allows the student to achieve his/her full academic potential at first degree level and in doing so to facilitate the development of independent logical thought and judgement. To provide the framework within which students can achieve the level of attainment, appropriate to their abilities in the context of the programme of study. To produce a basis for general professional experience and to encourage a consciousness of the professional, business and commercial environment. To provide opportunities to work in a multidisciplinary environment to facilitate decision making in the lifecycle of a project. To prepare students for the transition from Higher Education to employment within a professional context; and develop those transferable, specialist and employability skills that all stakeholders could reasonably expect of students who successfully complete an Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme. To encourage students to engage with the development of employability skills by completing a self-awareness statement. Prepare students for employment by equipping them with the with knowledge, understanding and skills expected of holders of a Higher Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering to enable them to progress to a range of technical and management careers or to progress to an undergraduate degree or further professional qualification in Electrical and Electronic engineering or related area. Provide the engineering base for progression to Incorporated Engineer level.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Lectures, tutorials, problem solving sessions, seminars, workshops, computer sessions, participation in projects. Examinations, assignments, preparation of reports, essays, technological reports, oral presentations, workshops, peer review, computer-based exercises, work placement reports (if applicable).

Opportunities for work related learning

Work-related learning is included within this programme, so students will have the opportunity to engage in real world projects and activities The programme has active links with industry and involves employers in the industrial projects at each level of the programme. Real world case studies are used wherever possible. As this is a part time programme, students will be apply knowledge attained in their employment to their academic studies.
