Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng (Hons)

Sheffield Hallam University

- Become a professional electrical and electronic engineer from day one.- Gain knowledge and specialised skills in state-of-the-art labs and workshops.- Apply your skills by completing industry-linked projects and placements. - Explore diverse disciplines – mechanical, automotive, aerospace, civil engineering.- Design and manage electrical systems for a sustainable future.From smartphones and buildings to electric cars and renewable energy, the world we live in today is profoundly dependent on the talents of electronic and electrical engineers. Creating, designing and managing the systems that keep things running is vital in our society – from the generation of heat, light and power to the ease and speed of communication that we’ve come to expect. You could also consider our integrated Masters MEng course. With an extra year to develop specialist knowledge and enhance your research and project-management experience, you gain advanced technical and professional skills to increase your future job prospects. Or, as long as you meet the required academic standards, you could enrol on the BEng and swap to the MEng later.If you don't meet the entry requirements for this course, or you’d like extra preparation before starting degree-level study, we recommend you join the foundation course.

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. This course is designed for you to gain experience as a professional engineer from day one, developing technical and professional skills from the very start.You’ll engage in a variety of learning activities as you progress through the course. The balance of these activities changes at each level of study to encourage you to become increasingly independent learners, developing the ability to take the initiative, plan, organise and complete programmes of work – as an individual, a leader and a member of a team. You learn through: - Diverse lectures emphasising peer collaboration.- Tutorials to practise and apply your knowledge ahead of assessments.- Hands-on lab experience including computational modelling and simulation..- Q&A and discussions for self-assessment and understanding.- Support sessions for receiving feedback and preparing for assessments.- Teamwork activities for collaboration in an innovative environment.- Project-based learning to apply knowledge, creativity, design, critical analysis and professional skills to real-world projects.

You will begin the course will focusing on the theoretical and practical fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering. You will then move into developing skills in analysis, design and verification of circuits before taking these skills and applying them at a system level.

Throughout all years of the course, you’ll have the chance to work on live projects, using the tools and skills relevant to the industry today. You’ll be treated as a professional from the moment you join us, and these projects will help you to harness the skills you learn with us in the real world. As part of this course, you’ll have the chance to run a project on data acquisition and analysis in collaboration with Netflix, where you’ll learn how to optimise data to improve the performance of systems and products.
