Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with a placement year) BEng (Hons)

University of Staffordshire

Gain a career advantage by developing practical and transferrable engineering skills using cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world problems. Grasp the opportunity to join our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering course to prepare yourself for one of the worlds most in-demand professions.Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree offers flexible pathways to specialise your learning in Electrical Engineering, or Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering. The Electrical pathway is focused on electrical rotating machines, power system analysis and power electronics for power generation, transmission, distribution, and supply industries.The Electronic and Telecommunication pathway is focused on the design and development of innovative solutions for a wide range of engineering problems by utilising embedded systems and evolving communication techniques.Both pathways also provide deep knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies in control systems, semiconductor devices, and renewable energies allowing you the opportunity to gain transferrable skills required in consumer electronics, power systems, transport, medical, and defence industries.CareersOur Electrical and Electronic graduates have gone on to a range of engineering roles, some as design engineers, hardware engineers, project engineers, project managers, system engineers, electrical engineers, electronics development engineers and intelligent transportation systems engineers. Weve seen them employed at companies such as General Electric, Ericson, Phoenix Dynamics, Hitachi Energy, BAE Systems, and Capula amongst others. But there are also many of our graduates who go on to further studies such as our MSc programme in Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy Systems or MSc programme in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering or PhDs.Our graduates work in a variety of organisations in: Electrical power generatio, transmission and distribution, Renewable energyRail and road transport networks, Industrial manufacturing,Construction and building services, Specialist engineering and consultancyPetrochemicals, Telecommunications, Defence related industries, including the Ministry of Defence
