Introduction

Engineering is fundamental to economic and social prosperity, applying scientific principles creatively, to solve practical problems. A profession that serves the needs of humanity, it develops and manages our environment in an ethical and sustainable manner, and improves our way of life. Your studies at Namal or Bradford will be a foundation for life, aimed at developing an appreciation of engineering principles and technical competence in their application using a wide range of personal and professional skills. The ability of an engineer to think clearly and logically is widely appreciated by many other professions so your studies could also serve as a stepping-stone to an alternative career in financial services, teaching, law, etc. – a real foundation for life and for a lifetime of learning.

The College and the University place emphasis on both teaching and research. Electrical and electronic engineering is the practical and creative application of electrical science and technology to the solution of problems, and to the design, development and improvement of products and processes in industry, commerce and society. This exciting and rapidly developing field will continue to drive the technological revolution of the 21st century. From a heart monitor to a power station; from satellite systems to the semiconductor chips and applications in your smart phone, electrical and electronic engineers provide the products, skills, services and above all, ingenuity, upon which modern life depends.

This course is a general electrical and electronic engineering degree targeted at students who are aiming for a career in a broad range of industries and government service. It can lead to successful careers in electrical supply and distribution, electrical and electronics manufacturing, electronic product design, robotics, communications and IT industries. It is a challenging course requiring creative and innovative skills. The course content includes digital and analogue electronics, power electronics, electronics materials, telecommunications and computing. Our course emphasises practical skills in designing, making and testing, with a substantial group project in year 2 and an individual project in your third year of study.

Programme Aims

The BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering is intended to:

provide a basis for a successful professional career in any area of electrical or electronic engineering;

enable you, upon graduation to develop the engineering, design, management and personal skills required to become professional engineers and in doing so, also equip you for a career in other professions;

Teaching and Assessment StrategiesThe teaching and learning strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the subject and the student intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the course. The strategies and methods are as follows:

The teaching and learning methods in the courses are designed to engage you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the course. They include formal lectures (including those from visiting lecturers), seminars, case studies, tutorial exercises, practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual work. The method of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and experimental coursework.

The methods implemented to develop your intellectual skills include engaging with you during tutorial exercises, case studies, practical demonstration, and supervised research or project work. Embedded in many modules at all levels is material to develop your skills and understanding of sustainable development and the importance of an ethical approach to engineering. You will also learn the skills associated with designing and executing your own research project in a number of modules, but particularly in the stage 3 Final Year Project.

The methods implemented to develop your practical skills include demonstrations and practical classes linked with the taught modules. You will also design and operate equipment and procedures and use instruments for measurement and control under supervision during your laboratory and project work. The methods used to assess practical skills will also provide feedback on laboratory work linked with the taught modules. In addition, a large part of the mark for the Stage 3 Final Year Project Report will be attributed to experimental method and the presentation and discussion of results.

The methods implemented in developing your transferable skills are implicit in the programme. The University of Bradford is well known for attracting students from a wide variety of background, experiences and countries. This and the learning facilities available to all students provide the conditions for you to develop and manage your own learning. The University of Bradford maxim, “Making Knowledge Work”, is imbedded in the philosophy of this course. The area of Engineering is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. The methods of assessment of transferable skills are built into the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or project work.

University policies and initiativesLearning and TeachingOur University approach to learning, teaching and assessment has a well thought out and professional integrated set of themes and principles within our Curriculum Framework. All of our degree programmes have been designed to provide you with an inclusive and engaging learning environment which gives you the opportunity to thrive and develop in your area of study. Our research-informed programmes have a particular focus on developing your employability. We also place a strong emphasis on collaborative, real-world and enquiry-based learning, supported by appropriate learning technologies. Assessments are designed not just to measure your achievements, but also to shape and guide your learning through preparing you for the increasing level of challenge as you progress through your degree. Together, these lead to you developing a distinctive set of graduate attributes which will prepare you for life beyond university.

Ecoversity:Ecoversity is a strategic project of the University which aims to embed the principles of sustainable development into our decision-making, learning and teaching, research activities campus operations and lives of our staff and students. We do not claim to be a beacon for sustainable development but we aspire to become a leading University in this area. The facilities we create for teaching and learning, including teaching spaces, laboratories, IT labs and social spaces, will increasingly reflect our commitments to sustainable development. Staff and student participation in this initiative is crucial to its success and its inclusion in the programme specification is a clear signal that it is at the forefront of our thinking in programme development, delivery, monitoring and review.
