Course Overview

The HND Electrical and Electronic Engineering is aimed at students who have completed the HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (or a related discipline) and wish to progress their knowledge, skills, and career opportunities. This qualification develops advanced expertise in electrical and electronic systems, preparing you for technical, supervisory, and professional roles across a wide range of industries. You will explore advanced automation and control, digital and analogue electronics, renewable technologies, and electronic design, alongside project management and professional practice. With innovation and sustainability driving the sector, the programme equips you with the technical and analytical skills required to meet industry challenges.Developed in collaboration with employers, the HND also offers clear progression to degree-level study or professional registration, supporting long-term career ambitions.

Course Overview

Modules :
Research Project – This module enables students to independently deliver a complex engineering research project while applying critical thinking, communicating effectively, and developing key analytical, creative, and collaborative skills.
Professional Engineering – This module teaches students the key professional standards and skills required of engineers—covering strategy, sustainability, management, and professional practice—so they can produce effective service delivery plans and demonstrate responsibility to society, the profession, and the environment.
Further Mathematics – This module trains students to use key mathematical methods—such as number theory, matrices, numerical techniques, and differential equations—to analyse and solve engineering problems.
Sustainability – On successful completion of this module the student with possess a wide range of knowledge and understanding of the issues and topics associated with sustainability and low carbon engineering.
Embedded microprocessor systems – This module aims to give students a solid understanding of microprocessor?based systems and their role in instrumentation and control, provide hands?on experience in developing microprocessor solutions to real engineering problems, and develop the ability to critically evaluate different microprocessors and their suitability for specific engineering applications.
Analogue electronic circuits – This module develops students’ understanding of analogue electronic systems by exploring specialised applications of analogue devices, using ECAD tools to design, build, and test circuits, and enabling them to explain how analogue and digital subsystems operate and how information is processed within complete electronic systems.
Digital electronic circuits – The module is designed to build on students current understanding of digital eletronics and mathematical techniques such as boolean algebra for circuit design and reduction learners are introduced to medium and large scale integrated devices.
