The mainstream Electronics and Electrical Engineering
course is broadly based, so that the graduate engineer is
able to deal with all aspects of the subject from power engineering
to micro-electronics, and from radar installations to digital
systems.
*
A degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering will prepare
students for a wide range of professional careers. Emphasis
is placed on the understanding of fundamental principles and
their application to design and the solution of practical
engineering problems. Even in early years of the course, when
students are mastering relevant engineering science and mathematics,
and being introduced to the principles of electronic circuits
and systems, the focus is on using these skills to construct
useful devices.
In later years, having gained experience in circuit and system
design and the major application areas of control and communications,
students can choose to acquire specialist knowledge in selected
topics; from power engineering through applied neural networks
and signal processing, to micro-, opto- and bio- electronics.
In addition to state-of-the-art technical skills, the degree
provides expertise in professional aspects including economics,
project organisation and management; and considers environmental
issues, including EMC, energy conservation, and safety.

Note that not all the courses shown in
these lists will necessarily be available in each year;
the choice of a curriculum will be subject to this limitation
and also to that imposed by timetable constraints. The
University Calendar provides the definitive description
of courses and course options. |
