BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering University of East Anglia (UEA)

Program Description

Electrical and electronic engineers play a vital role in shaping the future of our society, in numerous sectors transport and power generation to heating and cooling and more. This course will develop your capacity for innovation, collaboration, and ingenuity to help you tackle society’s biggest challenges. You’ll follow an integrated programme for the first year, giving you the knowledge, skills, and industrial connections to support your aspirations. From the second year, you’ll specialise in electrical and electronic engineering, refining your theoretical knowledge and practical skills. You can also take modules with the Schools of Computing Sciences or Environmental Sciences to become a truly interdisciplinary engineer. From day one, you’ll have access to industry-standard facilities in Productivity East, including computer aided design (CAD) stations, 3D printers, subtractive manufacturing technology, and several collaborative robots (or cobots). In the electronics lab, you’ll conduct practical experiments on our electrical machine test rigs and learn how to model and analyse different engineering systems using industry-standard software. You’ll benefit from our connections with industry right from the start of your course. Our annual Select Partnership Scheme is an exclusive event for engineering students, attracting several prestigious employers each year. Connections made at previous Select events have resulted in internships and offers of graduate employment. Studying electrical and electronic engineering at UEA means you’ll graduate with a rounded skillset and deep-rooted understanding of your chosen discipline. What’s more, you’ll be supported by an award-winning careers service throughout your course, and for three years after you graduate.
