In our modem high-tech world the Electronic and Electrical Engineer is fundamentally important to almost every aspect of life.
Electricity provides the nerves, muscles and even eyes which make our world function.
As an Electronic and Electrical Engineer you can help them to develop in ever more exciting ways. To participate in these future developments it is essential to become a qualified Electronic and Electrical Engineer by acquiring the necessary skills at university. Here in Dundee our Satellite Receiving Station will show you how data can be gathered by satellite, passed back to Earth and interpreted by Remote Sensing Techniques to provide valuable information on topics such as weather, water behaviour and plant growth. In the Microelectronics Laboratory you will learn about silicon chip manufacture and the use of materials such as Amorphous Silicon, from which our researchers created the first photo-electric cell to power calculators. Perhaps you will wish to study the science of Electrostatics and how it is being developed in our laboratories for levitating molecules, or for ink-jet printers.
