Course description
Why study this course?
By the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and meets all the academic standards for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.
As rated by The Guardian University Guide, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.
'Learning by doing' is the reason The Diamond was built. Dedicated to engineering, this industrial-scale pilot plant is where you’ll apply the theory you learn in lectures – consolidating your understanding alongside students from other disciplines, and beyond the bounds of the curriculum.
Our academics tackle major scientific and technological challenges that have a positive impact on the world, ranging from improving the flow of data via wireless communications, renewable energy production and storage, improved efficiency and accuracy of manufacturing and the electrification of transport. Their research, which has been rated as internationally excellent, is what informs the content of your course.
You’ll have the chance to work in industry for a year, honing the skills and knowledge you’ve gained on your course and helping you to stand out from the crowd.
Match real-world experience from a year spent in industry - with expert knowledge on the design of devices and systems that make modern life possible.
On our course you’ll become a specialist in the electrical and electronic devices that make the human world go round, from wind turbines to computers. You’ll also have the industry experience to back up the expert knowledge you’ve gained in your studies.
Practical experience is key to our teaching, with the chance to take part in two week-long group projects across your first and second years to solve real-world problems. You’ll also have the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long 91̽»¨ Industrial Project Scheme.
At the end of your second year you can specialise or continue with the more general electrical and electronic engineering, which is our most popular course.
Specialise your degree by focusing on one of the following:
- electrical engineering
- electronic engineering
- electronic and communications engineering
- semiconductor photonics and electronics
- electrical and electronic engineering
All that academic study will then be put into context with a year-long industry placement. While placements are not guaranteed and are your responsibility to source, you’ll receive plenty of advice and support from our dedicated Industrial Placement Year team.
Final year modules are industry oriented, focused on the application of scientific knowledge. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team on a research project, led by one of our academics, with industry input. This will develop practical transferable skills like team working, decision making and problem solving skills, enhancing your employability.
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Modules
UCAS code: H634
Years: 2022, 2023
Core modules:
- Digital System Engineering
-
This module introduces the basic principles underlying the design of electronic systems. The ideas are discussed mainly in the context of digital design which cannot be undertaken realistically without some level of system thinking and planning. Other areas of system design will be used to illustrate and reinforce the idea that system design ideas apply to many fields beside digital design. The module will also introduce some of the computer based tools used by system designers for simulation and verification.
20 credits - Electrical Circuits and Networks
-
This module introduces the basic principles underlying electric circuits. The idea of a circuit, and the concepts of voltage, current and power are introduced for both alternating and direct sources. The interaction between electrical circuits and magnetic circuits is discussed and the idea of mutual coupling and transformers is introduced. Formal analysis methods such as nodal, loop and superposition are introduced in the context of dc and ac circuits and the complex notation for ac quantities applied to the latter. The calculation of power in a range of contexts is discussed extensively.
20 credits - Electronic Devices and Circuits
-
This module introduces the physical principles that govern the properties and applications of the active and passive circuit components that comprise all electronic and electrical circuits. Issues affecting the practical behaviour of resistors, capacitors and especially diodes and transistors are discussed. The circuit environments in which diodes and transistors are used, and the models describing their internal behaviour and external interactions, are introduced. It is shown how transistors and diodes can be used in both switching circuits and amplifier circuits and the important concept of small signal modelling is introduced in the context of the latter.
20 credits - Mathematics (Electrical and Aerospace)
-
This module aims to reinforce students' previous knowledge and to develop new basic mathematical techniques needed to support the engineering subjects taken at Levels 1 and 2. It also provides a foundation for the Level 2 mathematics courses in the appropriate engineering department. The module is delivered via online lectures, reinforced with weekly interactive problem classes..
20 credits - General Skills
-
This is a general skills module which encompasses a range of professional development activities that will be useful throughout the remainder of your degree and career. These include practical skills in the laboratory, simulation skills for analysing circuits, communication skills and career development.
10 credits
You will learn to use the full range of industry standard laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, waveform generators and soldering workstations. A series of engaging exercises, both in the lab and using advanced simulation tools, are designed to build up your proficiency in practical engineering. You will use measurements to determine the mystery components in hidden boxes, practice soldering and fault-finding on printed circuit boards, and combine programming with circuits using microcontrollers to solve real world challenges. Many activities have short written tasks aligned to them, allowing focused practice at technical communications with rapid feedback from staff.
In the personal tutorials programme, you will work through personal development activities in small groups, such as effective CV writing and communication skills. You will receive regular feedback on your personal development through skills audits aligned to the 91̽»¨ Graduate Attributes. Some activities will be individual, such as researching your own employability strategy to get your dream engineering job, while others will be in teams, such as giving peer feedback on presentations and an exciting team-based robotics challenge.
The module culminates in an independent construction project that will require all of your skills together - past projects have included creating audio speaker circuits (handling digital input signals right through to audible sound outputs) and infra-red remote controls.
The combination of the two strands to the module will prepare you to work as a professional engineer throughout your degree programme and beyond. - Introduction to Energy
-
This module introduces the concepts of electricity and energy in the home. It is aimed at a wide audience and answers those questions that many people have about energy, electricity and renewables but don't know who or how to ask. The module will use only basic arithmetic maths - multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. Renewable energy sources such as solar PV panels, small wind turbines and heat pumps will be described. What savings can you really make? Petrol vs diesel cars, how does electric fit into the picture?
10 credits - Programming
-
This unit deals with practical programming. Students will study and practise programming in C andMatlab to provide underpinning skills for their development as engineers.
10 credits - System Design Analysis
-
This module gives you a hands-on appreciation of the design, manufacture and operation of electrical and electronic products. Delivery will consist of lectures and laboratory classes.There will be two types of laboratories: (a) Deconstruction (b) ConstructionIn (a) you will be guided through the deconstruction of defunct commonplace electrical products. You will discover how the products are made; how the various sub-components interact and the materials that have been used.In (b) you will build some simple electrical/electronic systems. This may include the use of simple circuit simulation tools and a take-home kit.The lectures will be used to facilitate the labs and will also include discussions of the issues associated with recycling and sustainability.
