Course aims

This major provides study in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of electrical and electronic engineering that builds on a student's previous knowledge and experience. It also provides the student with an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems and creates a basis for further study in electrical and electronic engineering.

Learning outcomes

On completion students will be able to:

• evaluate problems and use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of electrical and electronic systems;
• describe a variety of electrical and electronic engineering techniques and understand the processes through which this knowledge has been developed;
• understand the engineering fundamentals needed to generate a solution appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied.
