Introducing the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering …

Welcome to EEE – we are a friendly and approachable department with committed and enthusiastic staff.

The Frederick Mappin building

Our research-led teaching is at the forefront of current knowledge and we offer a stimulating environment in which to study. Because our staff work at the cutting edge of engineering science in world-class facilities, you can be sure our courses are continuously upgraded with the very latest developments.

The Department has a strong international reputation in both teaching and research. Our unique strengths were highly commended in a 2007 independent evaluation of our teaching, when the outstanding achievements of our staff and students were recognised. The panel congratulated us on our research-led teaching, the breadth of curriculum and innovative learning experiences. Combined with our 90% overall satisfaction rating from our students in the 2008 National Student Survey and the recent Research Assessment Exercise results, we are able to confirm our position as one of the leading EEE departments in the UK.

We interact with Industrial Liaison Committees, which advise the Department on teaching and research relevant to industrial and professional interests. These industrial links assist us with our curriculum development and influence the syllabus content.

Our facilities are excellent and include the UK´s EPSRC Centre of Excellence for III-V Technologies. There are specialist clean-rooms for semiconductor device fabrication, laser-test laboratories, microwave anechoic chambers, computer-aided design suites and comprehensive fabrication and test facilities for electrical machines and power electronics.

The Department has state-of-the-art undergraduate laboratories and the teaching staff are supported by a complement of skilled technical and administrative experts.

Our study programmes are designed to make the most of your potential. The outstanding achievements and employability of our students help keep us in our position as one of the top Electronic & Electrical Engineering departments in the UK.
