• This Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Hons) degree from Teesside University embraces a broad spectrum of electrical and electronic engineering activities ranging from digital electronics and communications to electrical machines and power distribution.
  • This broad base enables you to gain employment in a wide range of manufacturing sectors but is particularly useful for employment in traditional electrical, electronic, or communications industries.
  • The program is built around a set of discipline-based threads. These threads include analog and digital electronics (including microprocessors), control systems, communications systems, and electrical machines and power systems - which form the basis of a number of modules that run through all three years of the program.
  • Other modules, such as the mathematics, skills, and project modules, support these threads and provide a more rounded (industrially relevant) educational experience. Our accredited BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering program produces industry-ready graduates and meets the requirements of the Institution of Engineering Technology.

  • How students learn

  • This degree produces graduates who possess comprehensive knowledge and understanding of electrical and electronic engineering - and the skills and experience which allow them to analyze complex problems appropriate to electrical and electronic engineering.
  • The program provides a number of contact teaching and assessment hours (lectures, tutorials, laboratories, projects, examinations), but you are also expected to spend time on your own.
  • This self-study time is to review lecture notes, prepare coursework assignments, work on projects and revise for assessments. For example, each 20 credit module typically has around 200 hours of learning time.
  • In most cases, around 60 hours are spent in lectures, tutorials, and practicals. The remaining learning time is for you to use to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Each year of full-time study consists of modules totaling 120 credits, so, during one year of full-time study, you can expect to have 1,200 hours of learning and assessment.
  • Some of their modules involve a compulsory one-week block delivery period. This intensive problem-solving week provides students with an opportunity to focus their attention on particular problems and enhance their team-working and employability skills.
