Master of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering offered by the University of Aberdeen
Electrical and Electronic Engineering is at the core of the modern world, from computers, to digital circuits, photonics and a wealth of applications of electronics by industry.Our society relies on Electrical Engineers for everything from low power electrical machines, control systems, to high voltage electrical power generation and distribution systems. Electrical and Electronic Engineering is at the core of the modern world, from computers, to digital circuits, photonics and a wealth of electronic devices. Electrical and Electronic engineering is one of the most satisfying subjects that you can study.If your interests are science, technology or mathematics, then consider electrical and electronic engineering as your career. You will use your imagination, creativity and knowledge to provide society with the complex systems it needs. In your future career you may design the machines that supply our energy needs, digital control systems for aircraft, internet-enabled sensors, design complete computer systems on a silicon chip, photonics to instrument the ocean depths, create stunning electronic displays, or design the latest communications satellite or mobile phone.
What you'll study
The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year.It is possible to move between MEng and BEng and this can be accomplished at any point until the second half session of fourth year. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng and there is no quota, meaning that if grade requirements are met that transfer is guaranteed.
Year 1In the first year you can study topics such as Engineering Mathematics, Principles of Electronics, Electronics Design, Fundamental Engineering Mechanics, Fundamentals of Engineering Materials and Computer Aided Design & Communication.Compulsory CoursesPrinciples of Electronics (EG1008)CAD and Communication in Engineering Practice (EG1010)Electronics Design (EE1501)Engineering Mathematics 1 (EG1504)Fundamentals of Engineering Materials (EG1012)Fundamental Engineering Mechanics (EG1510)Getting Started at the University of Aberdeen (PD1002)
