Educational Aims of the Course

The BEng. programme in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with Foundation) is designed to develop a high level of technical expertise together with the emotional intelligence to be able to practice successfully as a professional engineer in a modern interdisciplinary engineering environment. New graduate engineers are increasingly expected to take on important technical leadership and management responsibilities early in their careers and the knowledge and skills gained from this programme are designed to produce graduates who are able to make an immediate contribution to their employer's organisations. The programme aims to: - Provide a programme of study, which develops core knowledge, and understanding of engineering principles, mathematics, and computation, appropriate to the field of Electrical and Electronic engineering. - Enable students to develop specialist knowledge, intellectual and practical skills that will enable them to analyse, investigate and develop robust solutions to Electrical and Electronic engineering problems. - Develop relevant study and personal skills so that students progressively take responsibility for their learning, becoming, independent learners, while receiving appropriate tutoring and support. - Equip students with a range of transferable skills and attributes in the use of computers, software packages, team working, communication, time management and problem solving methodology which will enable them to undertake responsible roles in industry and commerce. - Provide a degree programme which meets the accreditation requirements of AHEP-3 UK Spec and the needs of industry. - Develop students to work in and manage teams and also work independently at managerial level utilising project management and technical skills. - Encourage students to engage with the development of employability skills by completing a self-awareness statement.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Acquisition of underpinning knowledge is achieved mainly through lectures and directed student-centred learning. Student-centred learning is used where appropriate resource material is available. The economic, Social and Environmental context of engineering operations is delivered by means of lectures and case studies. The use of appropriate case study material is an essential part of teaching in this area. Testing of the knowledge base is through a combination of unseen written examinations, and coursework assignment submissions. Engineering Analysis is developed through lectures, case-studies and coursework assignments. Fundamental principles are delivered predominantly by lectures and laboratory classes. More advanced techniques are delivered by project work and coursework supported by lectures. Engineering Analysis and problem solving skills are assessed through a combination of unseen written examinations, assessed coursework and laboratory work, and project work Design is taught by coursework, individual and group project work supported by an appropriate lecture programme. Design skills are assessed by coursework, individual and group written design project reports, and student presentations. Engineering Practice permeates almost every activity within the programme content and assessment. Assessment of Engineering Practice is varied throughout the programme but is mostly coursework based.

Opportunities for work related learning

The curriculum fosters and embeds employability by the fact that it has been designed based on UKSPEC which details the knowledge, understanding and skills required of a professional engineer, which are transferable internationally. Currently there are no work placement opportunities within the programme although students are encouraged to seek employment during the summer vacation. Further, work based learning is included in the curriculum via case studies and a number of students undertake their final year ‘engineering projects’ with industry involvement.
