Educational Aims of the Course

The B.Eng. programme in Electrical and electronic engineering is designed to deliver the initial educational requirements for a professional engineer together with an appropriate range of transferable and engineering management skills. It will enable graduates to operate effectively in the early stages of their careers and provide a strong basis for future career development. The programme delivers a coherent and progressive course of study in engineering principles, mathematics, computing, engineering management and skills. The programme aims to: -Deliver the educational experience in which students can develop their knowledge of engineering science, core engineering principles and fundamental underpinning subjects such as mathematics and computation. -Develop students confidence to analyse challenging technical problems and to further develop their core engineering knowledge and skills through the investigation and development of credible and robust solutions to control and automation problems. -Provide students with appropriate support and encouragement to develop the necessary skills such that they can study independently and take responsibility for their own learning and subsequent professional development. -Provide engineering graduates with a range of highly relevant transferable skills such as team working, communication, engineering management, problem solving, computing and technical computing. -Provide a programme of study that fully meets the requirements of the Engineering Councils UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UKSpec) and partially qualifies the successful graduate for the attainment of the Engineering Council Chartered Engineer status after completion of an appropriate period of industrial experience. -Produce graduates with a depth, breadth of knowledge and understanding of electronics and control engineering, engineering management and teamwork to enable them to rapidly assume technical leadership and management roles.

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. Understanding is reinforced through case-studies. Testing of the knowledge base is through a combination of unseen written examinations, coursework in the form of case-study reports and coursework assignment submissions. Acquisition of these skills is achieved mainly through lectures and directed student-centred learning. Student-centred learning is used where appropriate resource material is available. Understanding is reinforced through case-studies. Testing of the skills and knowledge base is through a combination of unseen written examinations, coursework in the form of case-study reports and coursework assignment submissions. Engineering design, analysis and practical skills are taught almost exclusively by individual and group project work supported by a lecture programme appropriate to the demands of the project. Engineering design and practical skills are assessed by individual and group written design project reports, student presentations and presentations using computer graphics. 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. Assessment is via a combination of unseen written examinations and coursework in the form of case-study reports.

Opportunities for work related learning

Students are encouraged to undertake industrial placements throughout the duration of their studies (particularly between levels in the summer). There are also opportunities to complete industrially based projects via individual engineering projects at Level 6. This work experience will help develop understanding of the world of work environment suitable for the programme and increase a student's professional practical skills.

Programme Structure
