BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering
About this course
Electrical and electronic engineering is a discipline that powers the modern world in the most literal sense, concerned with the generation, distribution and conversion of electrical energy, the design of electronic circuits and systems, and the integration of electrical technology into the infrastructure of daily life. From power grids and electric vehicles to signal processing, communications networks and embedded computing systems, the work of electrical and electronic engineers shapes virtually every aspect of the physical and digital environments we inhabit. At Manchester Metropolitan University the programme is delivered part time, allowing you to develop professional expertise in electrical and electronic engineering while maintaining other commitments. Project-based learning runs throughout all years, including live industry-led projects that develop the transferable skills and multi-disciplinary awareness that employers in the sector value. You will study the specialist knowledge required for a professional career in the field, covering core areas of circuit theory, power systems, electronics and control, alongside the engineering practice skills needed to design, test and evaluate real systems. The programme also includes a sandwich year in industry and work placement opportunities. Electrical and electronic engineering graduates are in consistent demand across a wide range of sectors. Energy, telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, defence, consumer electronics, healthcare technology and smart building systems all employ graduates in roles including design engineer, systems engineer, commissioning engineer, power systems engineer and control systems specialist. Professional chartership through recognised engineering institutions is a well-established career milestone, and postgraduate study in power engineering, electronics or control systems provides further routes for those seeking specialist expertise.
