Virtually every modern technology is underpinned by electronic or electrical engineering, and it is difficult to think of an application where it doesn’t have influence. From small intricate electronic systems and smart things to large scale power plants, engineers are behind the design, development and testing of these technologies. Electronic and electrical engineers collaborate with other engineering specialists, so it’s crucial to have a broad understanding of general engineering and its applications. At Lancaster, your first year is dedicated to exactly this, and you’ll share this experience with all our engineering students. Your learn is directly informed by our research and expertise in smart embedded systems, novel electromagnetics, radio frequency engineering, and millimetre waves with THz signals. You’ll benefit from our work with organisations such as CERN and the European Space Agency as well as our strong links with industry.**What to expect**This degree starts with your general engineering first year and includes topics such as circuitry and instrumentation, heat transfer and manufacturing, which form a key requirement of modern electrical and electronic systems.In years 2 and 3 you will specialise in electronic and electrical engineering, from developing your core skills as an engineer and building your familiarity and practical experience in power engineering, communications, analogue circuitry and digital systems. Working in our two engineering buildings with state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll develop your creativity and technical skills as you design, build and test to solve real-world problems.**Your placement**In Year 4, you will undertake a year in industry that will enable you to apply the knowledge and skills learnt so far and gain invaluable experience. We have extensive links built through our leadership in research and have students undergoing placements with multinational corporate companies to smaller specialist SMEs. Once you have completed your placement, you will write an extended reflective piece about your time spent with the company.**Master’s-level training**In your final year, you will work on a substantial project into a topic of your choice, often interdisciplinary in nature and linked with industry or one of our research groups, during which you will apply your specialisation to cutting-edge technology. Examples of previous projects include: digital telemetry for a race car control and electrical power system design wireless instrumentation for a renewable power system a robotic humanoid embedded control for a novel 3D printer and high-frequency structures for 5G communication. This year will solidify your knowledge, placing you in an excellent position to launch your engineering career and progress toward achieving Chartered Engineer status.**Personal Development**You will develop transferable skills that make you highly desirable to future employers, such as working in collaboration, communication, and the ability to design and build a product or device. You will grow practical skills in diagnosis and testing, system maintenance, digital proficiencies, and the ability to consider and maintain work safety practices in a range of environments. **3 things our electronic and electrical engineering students would like you to know:**- The University is highly regarded for design in research and encourages us to do things differently, so we’re designing and innovating as we learn- All of us engineers share the same newly-built facilities. You’ll find us designing circuits in B02, using integrated software in the computer labs, or putting the mechanical workshops to good use- We benefit from industry input into the degree, and from the multidisciplinary approach to learning. **Important Information**For the most up-to-date course information and more details, we recommend that you revisit
