Key Facts

• UCAS Code: H6L2
• Accreditation: Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET)

Why This Course?

Electronic & electrical engineering is at the heart of everything we do - from renewable energy and smart grids, to high-speed fibre-optic broadband, digital sound and vision, and internet security. Electronic & electrical engineers are the people who design, build, operate and maintain our global power systems, our telecommunications networks and computing infrastructure, and develop electronic systems essential to industry, health and entertainment.

What You'll Study

The program covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Mathematics
• Engineering science
• Analogue and digital circuits
• Software design
• Electronics
• Electrical engineering
• Computing and business
• Group-based laboratory projects
• Technical projects linked to engineering companies and international research activities
• Options to study abroad or take part in solar energy projects in Africa

Year 1

Classes in mathematics, engineering science, analogue and digital circuits, software design, electronics, electrical engineering, computing and business are taken. You complete group-based laboratory projects such as how to build hydrogen-powered vehicles and design wireless communications to gain practical training in core engineering applications and project management skills.

Year 2

The study of analogue and digital electronics continues, enhanced by an introduction to basic concepts in signal processing. Further study includes the design and analysis of electrical and microcontroller-based instrumentation systems, coupled with further classes in advanced maths. All classes are supported by practical and team-working activities.

Year 3

You’ll begin to develop specialist engineering skills through completing classes in a range of advanced topics including signals and communications systems, renewable energy technologies and engineering analysis.

Year 4

You'll spend fourth year at a partner institution abroad. You’ll study an approved curriculum that is equivalent to the home one, and all the subjects/credits you pass count towards your degree at Strathclyde.

Year 5

In Year 5 you'll have the opportunity to develop your team-working skills through a multidisciplinary group project. This project will have a strong industrial influence and provide you with the opportunity to utilise both your hardware and software skills by developing a fully functioning system, which you're required to demonstrate at an internal business tradeshow/exhibition at the end of the year.

Learning & Teaching

To engage and challenge you, we use a blend of teaching methods. These include lectures, small group problem-solving tutorials, practical laboratories as well as industrial visits and seminars by professional engineers. You’ll not only develop technical engineering expertise but also communication, project management, leadership and entrepreneurial skills.

Assessment

You’ll be assessed through a variety of techniques. In Years 1 to 3, you'll complete at least six modules per year, with each module made up of a combination of written assignments, individual and group reports, oral presentations, practical lab work, and where appropriate, an end-of-term exam.
