Overview
The MEng allows you to study your areas of interest in more depth and also gives you the time to widen your knowledge of both Electrical and Electronic Engineering and other subjects including management.
This degree leads more directly to Chartered Engineer status than the equivalent BEng (Hons) programme and it is the choice programme for a career in engineering management.
The first two years of the MEng and BEng programmes are identical and there is some flexibility to allow switching between programmes, although a higher academic performance is expected for the MEng. In the third year you study core subjects including Analogue and Digital Communications, Embedded Computer Architecture and Total Quality Management. In the final year the core subjects are Advanced Signal Processing, Information Theory and Coding, Management of Design and Management of Product Development.
In both years you also choose additional lectures from a list of about 30 module options. Practical project work is very important and you will do a group project in Year Three followed by a major individual project in the final year.
Previous group projects have included the design of an inexpensive heart monitor for use on horses in an outdoor situation. A previous individual project was the production of automation software for ‘system on chip’ design for a major silicon chip design company.
Programme structure
Programme Year One
The first two years of the MEng are the same as the BEng programme, and therefore shares Years One and Two in common with a number of other programmes.
Digital and Integrated Electronics Design
Electrical Circuits and System
Mathematics
Experimental Skills/Engineering Skills
Electronic Circuits
C Programming
Programme Year Two
Signals and Systems
Electronic Circuits and Systems
Instrumentation and Control
Digital Electronics and Microprocessor Systems
Communication Systems
Applied Design/Project
Electrical Circuits and Power Systems
Field Theory
Electromagnetics
CMOS Integrated Circuits
Programme Year Three
You undertake an extended individual project; previous projects have included the design of an inexpensive heart monitor for use on horses in an outdoor situation. In addition, you study compulsory modules and a range of options. The compulsory modules are:
Project Management
Electronics for Instrumentation and Communication
The optional modules are chosen from:
Signal Processing and Digital Filtering
Digital System Design
Electronics for Instrumentation and Communications
Integrated Circuits – Concepts and Design
Application Development with C++
Photonics and Optical Information Systems
Image Processing and Pattern Recognition
Neural Networks
Embedded Computer Systems
Total Quality Management
Organic Electronics
Digital Control and Optimisation
Power Generation, transmission and distribution
Power Electronics and Electromechanics
RF Engineering and Applied Electromagnetics
Antennas
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Programme Year Four
During this year, students continue compulsory modules, choose further options and undertake an extended group project. A previous individual project was the production of automation software for ‘system on chip’ design for a major UK Silicon chip design company. Each project has an advanced technical element, linked to a research group programme that is also supported by industry. The compulsory modules are:
Management of Design
The optional modules are chosen from:
Radio Propagation for Wireless Systems
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Advanced System Modelling and Control
Digital and Wireless Communications
Photonics and Optical Information Systems
Computational Intelligence
Advanced Guidance Systems
Advanced Signal Processin
Microprocessor Systems
Software Engineering & Programming
Power system Measurement, Monitoring & Sensors
or from the Year Three options list if not previously taken.
Career opportunities
Our degrees have excellent career prospects: 90% of graduates go on to graduate level jobs. Graduate employers include Siemens, BAE Systems, BT and Guardian Media Group. Careers are many and varied and include Design Engineer, Systems Engineer, Medical Physicist, Postdoctoral Research Scientist and Radio Frequency Scientist. Some of our graduates go on to work in the industrial sector, in government and in education, whilst others enter non-technical professions such as banking, accountancy, management and law.
