Electronic and Electrical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Develop essential engineering knowledge and skills and prepare for a successful career in a fast-moving industry.<br/><br/><br/>• Develop high-level knowledge and skills in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), robotics, AI, internet of things (IoT), power electronics, sustainable technologies and more.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Bring the world of work to life through Live Briefs; designed and developed with regional employers to give you exposure to ‘real world’ problem-solving.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Study in our state-of-the-art electronics and microelectronics labs using software including Xilinx ISE, Multisim, LabVIEW, Ansys, Matlab, SPICE and VHDL-AMS.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• A diverse breadth of expert staff with a wide range of industrial and academic backgrounds make learning more real, hands-on and relevant.<br/><br/><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. <br/><br/>Going to university can offer you a series of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. As part of your course, you could study abroad with one of our short-term Global Experience programmes. Opportunities include summer schools and placements, lasting from one to four weeks and funded by ARU’s UK Turing Scheme grants.<br/><br/>If you decide to start your degree in January, your first academic year will run from January until August and your second year will commence in September. Our commitment is to ensure that you gain the same level of teaching as those students who started in September when you join them in your second year.
