COURSE CURRICULUM

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng (Hons) degree at Cardiff Met provides a comprehensive foundation in the principles and practices of modern engineering, combining theoretical learning with extensive practical experience. In the first year, students gain a broad understanding of analogue and digital systems, mechatronics, applied engineering mathematics, programming, and software development, while group projects allow them to apply these skills to real-world problems. The second year builds on this knowledge with in-depth study of signals and systems, control systems, physical computing, and engineering electromagnetics. Students consolidate their learning through laboratory work, hardware projects, and modules in research skills and project management, gaining practical experience in designing and implementing engineering solutions. In the final year, students explore advanced topics including digital signal processing, power electronics, electrical machines, and drives. Elective modules allow for specialization in areas such as advanced control systems, biomedical electronics, and digital and analogue communication systems, enabling students to align their studies with personal interests and career goals. The program culminates in an individual project that applies theoretical and practical knowledge to solve real-world problems. Opportunities for industrial placements provide valuable professional experience, preparing graduates to meet industry demands and pursue successful careers in electrical and electronic engineering.
