Part 2: Educational Aims of the Programme
The programme is a rationalisation of the current MEng Electronic Engineering and MEng
Electrical & Electronic Engineering programmes. It provides for a common first year of study
with an increasing degree of specialisation through each succeeding year of study. This is
provided by two pathways, electrical engineering and electronic engineering.
gain a sound knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles governing the
behaviour of electronic or electrical systems and of the related mathematics;
be capable of analysis of the behaviour of complex electronic, digital electronic or electrical
systems ;
demonstrate a capacity for innovative and creative design and be able to draw on
knowledge of the fundamental principles and proven systems to further develop existing
systems and to generate new systems which meet required specifications;
have a broad knowledge and understanding of engineering theory, practices and
applications and be able to use advanced techniques of analysis, synthesis and
implementation in the field of electronic engineering or electrical engineering,
have developed the ability, interest and motivation to conduct independent study and keep
abreast of future changes in technology and engineering practices;
be able to work in a largely unsupervised way to undertaken an individual research project
and present the findings in a professional manner;
be able to communicate clearly, concisely and persuasively with individuals and groups,
using a professional standard of English, both orally and in writing;
demonstrate the leadership and innovative design expertise required of a Master of
Engineering.
The award route provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge
and understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes in the following areas:

At Northshore, we adhere to the UWE, Bristol policy for a minimum average requirement of 12
hours/week contact time over the course of the full undergraduate programme. This contact
time encompasses a range of face to face activities as described below. In addition a range of
other learning activities will be embedded within the programme which, together with the
contact time, will enable learning outcomes to be achieved and demonstrated.
Part 7: Student Learning
On the MEng/BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering programme teaching is a mix of
scheduled learning, independent learning and placement training.
Independent learning includes hours engaged with essential reading, case study
preparation, assignment preparation and completion etc. These sessions constitute an
average time per level as indicated in the table below. Scheduled sessions may vary slightly
depending on the module choices made.
Placement learning: may include a practice placement, other placement, year abroad. This
constitutes an average per level as indicated below.
With the newly built state-of-the art building of over 12,000 sqm2 of space within a 3 acre land
Northshore College of Business and Technology is geared to provide a comprehensive learning
experience along with ample facilities to students. Within Northshore, student learning will be
supported in the following distinctive ways:
through provision of specialised Electrical and Electronic laboratories equipped with the
latest apparatus and equipment ;
through provision of frequently available, computer laboratories that provide access to a
wealth of knowledge through the Internet;
through provision of the College System Support Helpdesk that provides a range of
support for learning to students including:
support for a wide range of applications used by the students;
help in the form of Assistants who are trained to resolve many common student problems;
and help in the form of a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), that cover a variety of
common student requests for information;
in level-3 and level-M modules there is scope for engagement with current leading-edge
research undertaken by researchers within the College, UWE and at collaborating
institutions
