Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electronic and Electrical Engineering (H605)

This Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng degree is a modern course that has been developed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to design electronic and electrical systems for the next generation.

The first year is common to all engineering students. Students will share modules and this gives them the opportunity to learn more about different branches of engineering science. They'll also gain a better understanding of the connections between various engineering fields, its multi interdisciplinary nature and how they can choose their future employment.

Students will be introduced to electronic engineering and gain deep knowledge of electronics and electrical systems. They’ll learn about electronic systems, and electrical engineering and sustainability, and then progress to advanced electronics. In the final year, students can choose specialist subjects like control systems, embedded systems and intelligent systems.

Students will have access to modern technical facilities including computer, electronics, and power and control laboratories where they work on their experiments. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for them to use in dedicated computer clusters.

Brunel's BEng electronic and electrical engineering course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). This professional engineering institution ensures that students engineering degree meets the academic requirement to qualify as a professional engineer. This accredited BEng degree in electronic and electrical engineering can be studied full-time over three years, or four years with a placement year. The BEng degree meets the educational requirement to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). Students may wish to transfer to the MEng route of study at the end of their second year, subject to meeting the progression requirement. The MEng degree fully meets the educational requirement to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and involves a further year of academic study.

Brunel encourages students to pursue the placement year option. This time in industry helps them to further prepare for the world of work and they’ll have a year’s worth of invaluable professional experience when they graduate. If students decide to go on an engineering placement year, they will have the opportunity to work in an engineering or technology company.

The BEng course in electronic and electrical engineering also offers pathways where students can specialise in either artificial intelligence, communication systems, computer systems, or energy systems.
