2. Overview Courses we offer Structure of courses Examples of student projects Careers in Engineering Summary

3. Courses at LSBU BEng(Hons) & MEng(Hons) – Computer Systems and Networks Engineering – Computer Engineering (new!) – Telecommunications Engineering – Electrical and Electronic Engineering – Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) – Electrical and Electronic Engineering Extended Degree in Engineering (4 years) Available in full-time or part-time

4. Computer Systems & Networks The CSN course specialises in computer and internet technologies and is less maths intensive – Computer networks – Object oriented software for engineers – Operating systems and Multimedia engineering – Engineering software C++ – Network technologies and design – Advanced computer and software engineering – Java programming for apps

6. Telecommunication Eng The TE course covers analogue and digital electronics and specialises in Telecommunications and Computer Network Engineering with modules on; – DSP for communication engineering – Network technologies and design – Analogue, digital and wireless communications – Optical fibre and microwave communications

8. Electrical & Electronic Eng This is the primary course we offer and it is quite broad in the coverage of; – Analogue electronics – Digital electronics – Signals, control, instrumentation – Communication systems It has a strong focus on low voltage electronic circuit design, microcontrollers, control, digital and analogue systems

9. EE & Power Electronics EEPE has a similar broad coverage as EEE but with a focus towards power systems; – Electrical machines – Electrical power systems – High voltage generation and distribution – Electrical services for buildings – Lighting systems – Heating and intelligent control of buildings

10. Structure of Courses Year 1 Full-Time (120 credits) – Engineering Maths – Design & Practice – Engineering Principles – Engineering Computing – Introduction to Electrical & Electronic Engineering – Introduction to Digital Electronics Common to most degrees in EEE subject area – EEE, EEPE and TE share common 1 st year – Can elect to switch between them at end of 1 st year – Plus 2 more years to complete the BEng route

11. Typical 1 st Year BEng Timetable

12. Virtual Learning Environment Moodle

13. Final Year Projects All of our degrees involve a Individual Final Year Project – Students choose a project or suggest their own and work their way through the complete design cycle – Make use of our facilities to simulate initial designs via CAD tools, such as: MultiSim and Ultiboard MathWorks Matlab National Instruments LabView Packet Tracer/GNS3 Finally construct a working prototype – Examples of student’s work

14. Design Hospital Network

18. Using CAD tools like MultiSim’s Circuit Simulator

19. National Instruments printed circuit board design

20. Student has designed and built a motor controller and tachometer

21. A digital power supply unit A PIC-based temperature controlled environment unit

22. A lighting control system (EEPE student)

23. IET Accreditation All our degree programmes are accredited by the IET for partially fulfilling education required for Chartered Engineer (CEng) This gives the courses an official stamp of quality The IET continually monitor the content and graduate output quality The BEng(Hons) leads to Chartered Engineering status (CEng) after further study and proven work experience Our MEng programmes will fully meet requirements for CEng

24. Job Prospects Electrical (Communication) engineer salary and conditions; – Typical LSBU starting salaries: c.£25k – Experienced or Incorporated Engineers can earn between £30 – 40k – A Chartered Electrical Engineer can expect to earn from £40k upwards LSBU graduates have the best employability of all modern universities in London

25. Some useful information Library Open access IT support and training at LSBU Help and advice at LSBU’s Student Life Centre. Improve your employability with LSBU’s Job Shop
