Master of Engineering (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Program Overview
MEng (hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering provides you with a broad-based education in the subject, and develops your critical understanding of the core theories, principles and concepts relating to the use of engineering and computer technology. You’ll integrate engineering principles with the knowledge and understanding of mathematics, science, and management to adopt a holistic approach to solve current and emerging electrical engineering problems.
During the first three years students study topics from low current electronics to high power systems. During the 4th and 5th years, your technical studies are advanced to a Masters level and the syllabus is greatly extended in the area of engineering management. You will also have the opportunity to complete a six-month industry placement during your final two years, and complete advanced courses in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering.
The undergraduate programme will make you aware of the range of functions a qualified engineer can fulfil, whilst exploring industry-specific design techniques and software packages. You’ll analyse economic and commercial aspects of business, and develop the skills to create solutions to the current and emerging general and specialist problems in electrical engineering.
During your studies, you will apply our ‘learning by doing’ philosophy by practically developing your skills beyond traditional academic content. You’ll work on both individual and group projects from third year onwards, gaining valuable hands-on experience. The projects challenge you to solve a 'real life' problem – such as the project in which our students helped design an electronic egg to monitor penguin incubation. You will be taught how to use industry-standard equipment and facilities, and will be supported and encouraged by staff to use the equipment to further your studies, innovate creative engineering solutions in your personal time, and apply your knowledge to relevant socities and extracurricular team competitions, including CanSat, and Formula Student.
Upon completion of the programme, you will develop the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills required by industry, making you highly employable and sought after by electrical engineering companies world-wide.
