Electronic and Electrical Engineering [with Foundation Year] Beng (Hon)

Develop essential engineering knowledge and skills to prepare you for a successful career in a fast-moving industry. All our engineering courses are in line with the new Engineering Council requirements (AHEP 4.0).<br/><br/>Electronic and electrical engineers are at the forefront of the challenge to connect our world - From designing and building more efficient and affordable technology, to providing a more robust and green energy network, and to help us live better, healthier, smarter and more sustainably.<br/><br/>It’s a discipline which impacts on almost every area of our lives, including communications, commerce, entertainment, manufacturing, healthcare, transport, energy and the environment.<br/><br/>With an emphasis on Industry 4.0 concepts, youll learn about the latest developments and techniques in a variety of cutting-edge areas of engineering, such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), robotics, AI, internet of things (IoT), power electronics, and sustainable technologies, so youll graduate well-prepared to enter the workplace.<br/><br/>From day one, youll take a systematic, hands-on approach to real-life engineering challenges alongside your peers, developing your leadership, project management, problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, teamworking and presentation skills. These skills are in high demand among employers and youll use them throughout your career.<br/><br/>As an engineering student at ARU, you’ll work in our specialist labs and carry out four phases of an engineering project: design, analyse, build and test. Through this hands-on, project-based approach, you’ll develop the technical skills and associated knowledge you need to work in the engineering sector, with an emphasis on embedded systems and remotely controlled wireless systems.<br/><br/>You’ll also learn about broader factors that all engineers have to consider, including the economic, social and environmental impact of your work.<br/><br/>We’ve placed employability at the heart of our course, by integrating university learning with real-world projects. As a graduate, you’ll be confident about using your problem-solving skills to inspire change and innovation.<br/><br/>Due to our new project-based curriculum, weve arranged for the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) to visit our campus, with a view to re-accrediting this course. Accreditation means its been approved by a professional body as meeting their level of requirements.
