How You Study

The course covers core electrical and electronic engineering subjects and provides opportunities to specialise in advanced electronics, power and energy, and control. Teaching and learning on the programme empower problem- and project-based learning to equip students with relevant in-depth knowledge, and essential practical and transferable skills that are a core requirement of the industry.

The first and second year of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes offer a foundation in engineering theory and practice. Students can develop fundamental knowledge in areas such as robotics, semiconductor device physics, electrical technology, matter and interactions, engineering mathematics, and numerical computation.

Specialist modules in the third year include Power Electronics, Robotics and Automation, and Internet of Things and Smart Electronics. At each stage, students have opportunities to develop their engineering skills on real-life problems through project-based learning opportunities.

How You Are Assessed

Assessment methods on the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme aims to test engineering technical and analytical skills, as well as professional soft skills including oral and written communication, team working, long-life learning, problem-solving, project management, and planning and organisation.

The way students are assessed on this course may vary for each module. Examples of assessment methods that are used include time constrained assessments (TCAs), coursework, such as written assignments, reports, or dissertations; practical exams, such as presentations, performances, or observations; and written exams, such as formal examinations or in-class tests. The weighting given to each assessment method may vary across each academic year.
