Academic titleElectrical Engineering, BEng Hons
Course descriptionDeveloped in liaison with Cummins Power Generation, this programme is designed to prepare students for a career as professional electrical engineers, with the focus on innovation, analysis and development within a wide range of industries from both the user’s and producer’s perspective.
The programme provides a broad education in electrical and electronic engineering in the first two years, sharing a similar structure to the BEng Hons Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology degree, but with specialist courses in power electronics being introduced in the second year. In the final year, power engineering and power electronics are core courses together with a major individual project in electrical engineering.
