Study in Sheffield for the first two years of your course and cover the theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. In your third year you have the opportunity to put into practice what youve learnt by working for a year in an engineering company, before returning to Sheffield for your final year of study.<br/><br/>**Learn about the technology that makes modern life possible with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering, and boost your employability with an opportunity for an industrial placement year.**<br/><br/>The electrical and electronic engineering discipline ranges from the design and fabrication of individual components, such as semiconductor chips, electric motors and radio antennae, to complete systems, such as mobile phones and electric vehicles.<br/><br/>Informed by our world-leading research and designed in collaboration with our industry partners, this course gives you a flying start to your career. Youll learn to use the industry-standard equipment in our Electronics and Control Lab, Teaching Cleanroom and Computer Labs.<br/><br/>In year one we’ll review the basic physics behind electrical or electronic devices, and youll learn how to design, build and test simple electronic systems. These classes will be supplemented by an introduction to computer programming, a necessary skill for all engineers. <br/><br/>Year two contains in-depth learning relating to energy generation, embedded programming, electronic circuits and devices, and data communications. You’ll do three projects:<br/>- A week-long faculty-wide engineering challenge<br/><br/><br/>- An industrial project with one of our industrial partners<br/><br/><br/>- A design project in which you will design, build and test an electrical or electronic component.<br/><br/><br/>Your academic study will then be put into context with a year-long industrial placement, where you’ll be challenged and developed into an engineer. Youll take responsibility for sourcing your industrial placement, with plenty of advice and support from our dedicated Engineering Placement Team.<br/><br/>In your final year, you can further tailor your study by selecting modules from a particular stream (electrical; electronics; communications; semiconductors) or continue with a broad spectrum of modules. You’ll also take a management module and complete a large individual research project, supervised by one of our academic staff.<br/><br/>Our graduates go on to exciting careers within leading companies, including ARM, ARUP, BAE Systems, Barclays, Deloitte, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, National Grid, National Instruments, Renault, Rolls Royce, Shell, Siemens, Unilever and Volvo.<br/><br/>**Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).**<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- Study with experts: You will learn from academic staff who are involved in world-class research with our industrial partners. Their research informs our teaching.<br/><br/><br/>- Do engineering through project work: For your final year project you may be embedded within a research group or use the facilities in our bespoke project labs or the iForge Makerspace.<br/><br/><br/>- Specialist teaching laboratories: The Diamond building is dedicated to teaching engineering students practical skills. It contains large, modern labs where you can apply the theoretical material delivered in lectures to real-world applications. Its staffed by a team of technical and academic staff who are dedicated to teaching practical skills. The building also contains over 1,000 individual study spaces.<br/><br/><br/>- Exciting careers: The specialist and generic skills that you acquire will enable exciting well-paid global career opportunities in industry, commerce, research and beyond.<br/>
