Scholarship: Electronic Engineering, M.Eng.

Electronic Engineering, M.Eng.

Think of all the advances in technology over the years, from games consoles and smart phones to drones and self-driving cars. The role of electronic engineers in the future will be crucial as we become increasingly reliant on faster, more intelligent technologies. 

About

The difference between this course and our BEng (Hons) route is that you will specialise in more advanced topics. Also, on successful completion of the course, you’ll meet the full educational requirements of the IET for CEng (Chartered Engineer) status. You'll also meet the European Framework Standards for engineering accreditation (EUR-ACE).

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE?
On this course you can:

• Gain the essential theoretical and practical knowledge in the design of electronic systems
• Use modern, sophisticated equipment to measure and analyse of a range of electronic systems
• Experiment with our range of control applications – from helicopter development kits to walking robots
• Work on a multidisciplinary group project to gain the practical experience sought by industry
• Put learning into practice by doing a paid work placement, either in the UK or overseas after either the second or third year of the course​

WHAT OPPORTUNITIES MIGHT IT LEAD TO?
This MEng course has been accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), meeting the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).Successfully completing this MEng course will allow you to achieve the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status upon graduation.  You will also be awarded the EUR-ACE certificates meaning that you will fully meet the criteria of second cycle European engineering programmes.Here are some routes our graduates have pursued:

• professional electronics
• design
• research and development
• product manufacture

• project management

TEACHING
You will be taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials (personal and academic), laboratory and project work, CAE system activity and open access study. The course has a strong practical emphasis and we pride ourselves on working at the leading-edge of technology and learning practices.
The time you spend in teaching activities may depend on the units you select. As a guide, students on this course last year typically spent their time as follows:

• Year one students: 36% in lectures, seminars and similar learning activities, 64% studying independently and 0% on work placement
• Year two students: 33% in lectures, seminars and similar learning activities, 67% studying independently and 0% on work placement
• Year three students: 16% in lectures, seminars and similar learning activities, 84% studying independently and 0% on work placement
• Year four students: 16% in lectures, seminars and similar learning activities, 84% studying independently and 0% on work placement

ASSESSMENT
A range of assessment methods encourages a deeper understanding of engineering and allows you to develop your skills. Here’s how we assess your work:

• written examinations
• coursework
• practical tests
• project work
• presentations

The way you’re assessed may depend on the units you select. As a guide, students on this course last year were typically assessed as follows:

• Year one students: 55% by written exams, 0% by practical exams and 45% by coursework
• Year two students: 58% by written exams, 10% by practical exams and 32% by coursework
• Year three students: 38% by written exams, 0% by practical exams and 62% by coursework
• Year four students: 48% by written exams, 0% by practical exams and 52% by coursework
