Stage 1 will provide a broad introduction to the principles of engineering. You will gain an understanding of design processes in a multi-disciplinary context. This will aid the development of your professional skills. You will also focus on engineering materials, mechanics, and electrical and electronic engineering.
Modules
In Stage 2 you'll explore areas including operating systems, computer networks, digital electronics, and analogue electronics. You'll also complete a design-based project, working in groups with students from other electrical engineering programmes.
Modules
During Stage 3 you'll complete modules in system and network security, signal processing and machine learning, database technology, telecommunication networks, and accounting, finance and law for engineers.
You'll also complete an individual project and dissertation, and choose optional modules from specialist areas including web technologies, system and network security, digital signal processing, and integrated circuit design.
