Electrical and Electronic Engineering - MEng (Hons)

The course covers core electrical engineering subjects and provides opportunities to specialise in advanced electronics. Teaching and learning on the programme aims to empower problem- and project-based learning. We aim to narrow the gap between employers requirements and our graduates skills by developing skills that are required by industry.

The first and second year of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes offer a foundation in engineering theory and practice. Students can develop fundamental knowledge in areas such as robotics, semiconductor device physics, electrical technology, matter and interactions, engineering mathematics, and numerical computation. Teaching includes important technical and workshop skills and, after the first year, students can specialise in electrical and electronic engineering.

Specialist modules in the third year include Power Electronics, Robotics and Automation, and Internet of Things and Smart Electronics. At each stage, students have opportunities to develop their engineering skills on real-life problems through project-based learning opportunities.

The MEng involves a fourth year of Masters-level study, which includes modules such as advanced system design. Students can also learn about project management, teamwork, and leadership, and complete an extended group project.

Electrical engineering is essential to the modern world, encompassing everything from energy and automation through to communications and transport. The MEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme is designed to equip students with the skills needed by industry and to succeed as the engineers of the future.

Founded in collaboration with Siemens, the University of Lincoln's School of Engineering has a core philosophy of research-led teaching. Our innovative industrial collaborations have led to a rich programme of work experience opportunities, including at Siemens Energy in Lincoln. The University is also one of a select group of Siemens' Global Principal Partners.

Throughout the course, there are extensive opportunities at each level of study to engage in hands-on projects and benefit from learning in an environment where our academics and researchers are conducting research. The curriculum is designed to support students to bridge the gap between university and the professional world by developing skills that are essential within industry.

Strong links exist between our Mechanical and Electrical programmes, enabling our students to develop the strong cross-disciplinary focus necessary for the modern engineer, and an understanding of industry perspectives.
