Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

This field of engineering has in recent years been increasingly oriented towards fields such as IT and computing, embedded systems, robotics, high tech, and energy to achieve optimization, simplicity and reliability for the new devices of the 21st century.

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines in the world, and has been responsible for most technological advances science has made with electricity, electronics and electromagnetism.

Our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering pathway takes into account the changing face of engineering and will provide you with a modernised set of modules.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering is an exciting specialism which adapts easily to many engineering areas and works very well for those interested in technology and innovation.

It also is adaptable to numerous areas of the industry and engineers in the field work well with mechanical engineers and various other technicians from the broader field of engineering.

This means there are excellent career opportunities for talented engineering graduates within a variety of sectors.

This course at Blackpool and The Fylde College is delivered as part of the Lancashire & Cumbria Institute of Technology, meaning you'll benefit from industry-focused technical training designed with leading employers.
