Electronic Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)

at Coventry University

Why you should study this course

You will likely find electronic engineers developing a wide range of applications and cutting-edge technology such as power-dense electronic controllers, creating an integrated RF analogue-to-digital signal devices, developing scalable, multi-function, phased array radar systems, or designing algorithms for use in a diverse range of applications such image processing.

• Designed to meet the Engineering Council UK-SPEC standard, the course curriculum covers the essential principles of electronic engineering. It aims to develop the advanced skills needed by today’s graduates to develop high quality solutions in electronic engineering systems. Successful completion of this course provides a solid foundation from which to commence a potential future career in electronic engineering.
• The programme includes an Add+vantage module at every year of study, available from a diverse subject range so as to provide opportunities to customise your study.
• From the outset, we aim to place an emphasis on innovation, design, and development to enable you the opportunity to enrich your technical and transferrable skills.
• You’ll have the chance to access to the latest technologies in the fields of electronic engineering via our well-equipped micro-electronics laboratories, power drives laboratory and other dedicated project facilities (subject to availability).
• You will be taught by current staff with substantial research experience and expertise in areas such as: photovoltaics; semiconductor devices modelling, simulation, design and fabrication; electromagnetics; iron core saturation; control theory and applications; wireless sensors and embedded micro-electronics, so as to inform your study of new developments within the fields of this programme. Please note that staff are subject to change.

What you'll study

Course learning outcomes are delivered by blended learning, which incorporates Activity-Led Learning (ALL) in core modules at each level of the course.
This innovative blended learning strategy aims to ensure that students experience a stimulating learning environment cultivated by a variety of means, for example projects, problem solving, scenarios, and case-study enquiry and research questions.

Year one
First year subjects are designed to provide a firm foundation in the essential subjects of electrical and electronic engineering, the delivery of the curriculum is intended to motivate via the use of blended learning whereby the learning is undertaken in a variety of means, seminars, guided scholarly activities, studio sessions incorporating practical/simulation activities all of which aim to prepare students for study over the full duration of the course (subject to passing each year).
