BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year

About your course The BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year at Liverpool John Moores University is the ideal course if you are interested in this subject but lack the necessary qualifications to study it at degree level. Additional course costs: There are no additional costs for field trips, company visits or software. Only the normal costs such as calculators, notepads and similar are required.

Electrical and electronic engineers are also involved in the ongoing development and production of a diverse range of products, and so companies supplying anything from bread to jet engines, from mobile phones to banking services will need their skills. Level 4 of this BEng (Hons) course covers core engineering principles and technologies such as mathematics, electrical engineering, electronics and instrumentation, microprocessors and programming. You will also spend time completing structured design projects, which will help develop your engineering and management skills.

In the second year there is greater emphasis on the application of the core principles through design. Electronics and microprocessors are taught in the context of designing and controlling engineering systems and the mathematics course provides the essential skills to enable you to design control strategies, and supports the more mathematical modules of the programme. During your course, you will undertake projects that both structured and less structured allowing you more freedom to design your own solutions to problems.

This is supported by seminars in commercial project development, which will teach you some of the key skills needed to plan and manage a project. The last year of the programme covers the core themes of electronics, electrical power and management and you will undertake a major individual project with an academic supervisor.
