Included throughout the duration of the programme is a unit on industrial studies and a choice between a European language and business studies. The sandwich programme includes one year in industry between the second and final years. Programme delivery is at honours level only, but provision is made for the possible award of an unclassified degree for those cannot reach the honours standard. The first two years of the programme are common with the honours degree in electronic engineering, recognising that today's electrical engineer requires wide ranging electronic, computing and management skills. The development of the engineer is greatly enhanced during the period where the student is able to practise the knowledge and skills acquired.
Continuous assessment forms an integral part of each module.
Its weighting is dependent upon the nature of the subject. A programme handbook giving full details of the programme is available from the telephone number given above. A final year project is carried out over 2 semesters. These projects, usually industry or research oriented, are aimed at encouraging students to apply their theoretical knowledge and industrial experience to either analyse or solve problems, or design and develop electrical systems subject to some requirements.
