BEng (Honours) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Al onze cursussen zijn ontworpen rond belangrijke principes die erop gericht zijn u te betrekken bij de wereld, samen te werken met anderen, u uit te dagen om op nieuwe manieren te denken en u een ondersteunende omgeving te bieden waarin u kunt gedijen.

This course is designed for you to gain experience as a professional engineer from day one, developing technical and professional skills from the very start.

You’ll engage in a variety of learning activities as you progress through the course. The balance of these activities changes at each level of study to encourage you to become increasingly independent learners, developing the ability to take the initiative, plan, organize, and complete programs of work – as an individual, a leader, and a member of a team.

You learn through:

• Diverse lectures emphasizing peer collaboration.
• Tutorials om uw kennis te oefenen en toe te passen voorafgaand aan beoordelingen.
• Hands-on lab experience including computational modeling and simulation.
• Q&A and discussions for self-assessment and understanding.
• Support sessions for receiving feedback and preparing for assessments.
• Teamwork activities for collaboration in an innovative environment.
• Project-based learning to apply knowledge, creativity, design, critical analysis, and professional skills to real-world projects.

Key Topics

You will begin the course will focusing on the theoretical and practical fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering. You will then move into developing skills in the analysis, design, and verification of circuits before taking these skills and applying them at a system level.

Course Support

You’ll be supported in your learning journey towards highly-skilled, graduate-level employment. This includes work experience, digital skills, career readiness, and graduate attributes – plus the following support:

• Access to our student support triangle to help with your personal, academic, and career development.
• Access to our Skills Centre for support with one-to-ones, webinars, and online resources, where you can get help with planning and structuring your assignments and assessment preparation.
• Industry-specific employability activities, including work placements, live projects, and networking opportunities.
• Het Engineering Café is een wekelijkse inloopsessie waar je vragen kunt stellen en advies kunt krijgen van academici.
• A dedicated Maths and Stats Support drop-in session that runs twice a week.

Applied learning

Live Projects

Throughout all years of the course, you’ll have the chance to work on live projects, using the tools and skills relevant to the industry today. You’ll be treated as a professional from the moment you join us, and these projects will help you to harness the skills you learn with us in the real world.

As part of this course, you’ll have the chance to run a project on data acquisition and analysis in collaboration with Netflix, where you’ll learn how to optimize data to improve the performance of systems and products.

You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved with SHU Racing, initiated and led by Sheffield Hallam students. SHU Racing caters to a broad audience, reflecting our commitment to professional diversification. Each year the team strives to optimize and develop a Formula Student competition car – through smart innovation, professionally engineered development, and lean manufacturing strategies.

The SHU Racing team typically consists of over 70 undergraduate students, predominantly from the engineering disciplines.

Work Placements

You’ll have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This gives you valuable work experience to prepare you for your future career – and allows you to graduate with an Applied Professional Diploma to add to your CV.

We’ll be on hand to support you in applying for and finding suitable placement opportunities. We’re in regular contact with local and national companies – and we can help you with interview techniques and preparing your CV. Previous graduates have spent their placement years at companies including Siemens, BMW, General Electric, Network Rail, Caterpillar, Cetix, British Gas, Servelec Group, Abaco Systems, ARM, British Airways Engineering and Heraeus Electro-Nite (UK).

Field Trips

You’ll be able to observe relevant industry processes through site visits. Previous trips have included tours of power stations, automotive plants, and advanced manufacturing industries.

Networking Opportunities

You’ll be able to attend scheduled events across the academic year and meet industry partners, employers, researchers, and alumni. Past events have included the Alumni Careers Panel, Careers Fair, Winter Research Poster Event, SHU Racing Launch, and EngFest.

Modules

Module and assessment information for future years is displayed as currently validated and may be liable to change. When selecting electives, your choices will be subject to the core requirements of the course. As a result, selections may be limited to a choice between one of two or more specified electives in some instances.

Important notice: The structure for this course is currently being reviewed and enhanced to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. Module structure, content, delivery, and assessment are all likely to change, but we expect the focus of the course and the learning outcomes to remain as described above. Once the changes have been confirmed, updated module information will be published on this page.
