Aims of the Programme
The aim of this programme is to produce Electronic and Electrical Engineers with the ability to solve novel engineering problems by designing, developing and/or using electronic, electrical and electromagnetic devices, components and systems with the associated software, subject to trade-offs involving a set of competing goals and constraints. Their level of ability will be beyond “assembling” or “configuring” systems. They will be equipped to work effectively in a professional capacity, for example in industrial design, or research and development. Graduates should be able to contribute specialist skills to such activities. They should also have developed the technical, intellectual and transferable skills needed to underpin their education and continuing professional development.
Graduates will have a systematic knowledge and understanding of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, including various important specialisms. Some of their knowledge and understanding will be at the forefront of the discipline.
Typical graduates will be able to make sound judgements in the absence of complete information, with an awareness of the context in which they work. They will be self-motivating, and will have the qualities and transferable skills necessary to take responsibility for their continuing personal and professional development. They will only need to complete a matching section to have the education to qualify as a chartered engineer.
The high level of numeracy of graduates, and their skills in problem solving, team working, and communication and information technology, equip them for successful careers outside as well as within the electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications and computing industries.
Programme Outcomes
Students are expected to have Knowledge and Understanding of:
Which will be gained through the following Teaching and Learning methods:
and assessed using the following methods:
C1. mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles and an ability apply them to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study
C2. first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles and an ability to use them to analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions
C3. appropriate computational and analytical techniques and an ability to select and apply to model complex problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed
C12. practical laboratory and workshop skills and an ability to use them to investigate complex problems
C13. appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, and an ability to select and apply recognising their limitations
C14. quality management systems and continuous improvement and be able to Discuss their role in the context of complex problems
C15. engineering management principles, commercial context, project and change management, and relevant legal matters including intellectual property rights and be able to apply them.

Students are expected to have attained the following Skills and other Attributes:
Which will be gained through the following Teaching and Learning methods:
and assessed using the following methods:
C4. Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address complex problems
C5. Design solutions for complex problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards
C6. Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems
C7. Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems and minimise adverse impacts
C8. Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct
C9. Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity
C10. Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks
C11. Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion
C16. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team
C17. Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences
C18. Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD
