Electronic Engineering (H610 / H613)

Electronic Engineering is a very broad subject area encompassing computer hardware, analogue circuits, communication systems, power electronics, semiconductor devices and optoelectronics.

Many courses are designed to specialise on one of these areas but this course is designed to provide you with a sound base of the knowledge and skill that underpins the whole Electronic Engineering subject area.

In essence, Electronic Engineering is concerned with making electrons do what you want them to do in order to achieve some engineering objective, such as measurement or communication. A study of the circuit elements used to manipulate the flow of electrons, and the circuits in which they are placed, is central to all areas of the subject.

With a degree in Electronic Engineering you are well placed for employment in a wide variety of industries, both inside and outside the engineering sector.
