Electronic and Electrical Engineering SW - BEng (Hons)

Nottingham Trent University

We believe in putting theoretical knowledge to the practical test by giving you hands-on opportunities you need to really embed your skills. You’ll have opportunities to take part in our industry Grand Challenge, go on a work placement and learn how to develop creative and effective solutions for engineering problems – these all go towards developing you as rounded, work ready engineering graduate.It’s impossible to imagine a world without electronic and electrical engineering. It covers everything from tiny integrated circuits in household items and mobile phones, to the large-scale utilities that power our homes. The industry is fast paced and rapidly changing with a focus on renewable and sustainable energy sources. An electronic and electrical degree from NTU can putyou at the forefront of this exciting technological revolution by providing the skills and knowledge needed to be a great engineer.As well as building your fundamental engineering skills, the course considers both the sustainability and environmental issues that are becoming increasingly important. Plus, you’ll be doing it all for real in our rooftop renewable energy lab.Recently students have worked on projects such as designing an energy harvester, reverse engineering everyday objects and using industry standard software packages to design integrated circuits.With the focus firmly on problem-solving and live project work, we aim to give you three to four years of industry experience before you graduate. Who wouldn’t want that on their CV?**Accreditation**Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.This course is recognised by CDIO, a framework that has a project based learning approach. This framework stresses engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving - Designing - Implementing - Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. The framework is dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering through live projects.
