BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Your study will cover theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. The core topics in this course include power systems, power electronics, digital electronics, circuits and devices, electrical machines and drives.
Learn about the design, fabrication and use of the devices and systems that make modern life possible, with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering.

Electrical machines like those in wind turbines powering systems such as the National Grid, devices from LEDs and lasers to microprocessors and computers, communication systems like 5G mobile networks, all make the world go round.

In this three-year course, youll explore the theoretical and practical engineering of these devices and systems, across a wide range of core and optional modules.

Practical experience is key to our teaching. As a first-year youll take part in the faculty's Global Engineering Challenge to solve a real-world problem. In your second year, youll work on a week-long project, Engineering Youre Hired, devised by one of our industry partners and get the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long Sheffield Industrial Project Scheme.
