Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Top-up)

This top-up HND following on from HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering to Level 5 units that prepare students to move on to specific areas of electrical and electronic engineering at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision making.
Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of engineering situations.
By the end of Level 5 study, students will have a sound understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the industry. They will be able to perform effectively in their specialist area.

Unit 5002: Professional Engineering Management; Unit 5006: Further Mathematics; Unit 5009: Further Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs); Unit 5010: Further Electrical Machines and Drives; Unit 5011: Industrial Power, Electronics and Storage; Unit 5013: Embedded Systems; Unit 5019: Further Electrical, Electronic and Digital Principles; Unit 5020: Utilisation of Electrical Power.
