Educational aims of the programme
- The overarching aim of the BEng in Electronic Engineering with Artificial Intelligence is to provide a broad education in electronic, electrical and computer engineering in the early stages of the programme with opportunities for the student to specialise in the later stages. The programme is designed to provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and application of modern electronic and electrical circuits, programming and software systems, and communications and networks. An individual project will be chosen by the student in the final year allowing them to assist with professional career development as a graduate engineer within industry or to serve as a precursor to academic research.
- To ensure that our BEng programmes partly meet the education requirements for Chartered Engineer status
- To produce graduates equipped with subject specific knowledge and transferable skills aligned to the Surrey Pillars of graduate attributes and graduates capable of planning and managing their own life-long learning to equip them for roles in industry, in research, in development, in the professions, and/or in public service.
- To provide relevant professional experience to students on programmes incorporating employability as a route to improve their careers
- To provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and application of mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles in the area of electronic engineering and AI.
- To provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and application of engineering concepts and tools in analysis of engineering problems in the area of electronic engineering and AI.
- To provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and application of design principles in the creation and development of innovative products to meet a defined need.
- To provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the role of the engineer in society and application of ethical and societal, including equality, diversity and inclusion, principles within an engineering context.
- To provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and application of engineering practice including the importance of project management, teamwork, and communication within an engineering context.
- To provide opportunities for undergraduate students to enhance their global and cultural intelligence through working with students from around the world and working on a rich variety of assignments and individual and group projects appropriate to their programme.
- To provide opportunities for undergraduate students to enhance their digital capabilities through the use of assignments and projects making various use of programming languages as well as enhancing their general transferable information technology skills in the analysis of data, and via the preparation of assignments, individual and group reports and presentations.
- To provide opportunities for undergraduate students to enhance their employability skills via participation in a professional training year in industry. Students' employability skills will also be enhanced by opportunities to master their problem solving skills as they advance from well-structured problems to open-ended problems, group and individual project.
- To provide opportunities for undergraduate students to enhance their resourcefulness and resilience skills via use of authentic style coursework and assignments, working in teams and undertaking a major individual project in the final year. This will build up a student's personal confidence as they advance from well-structured problems to open-ended problems and individual and group project work.
