Course Overview

It’s impossible to imagine a world without electronic and electrical engineering. It covers everything from tiny integrated circuits in household items and mobile phones to the large-scale utilities that power our homes. The industry is fast-paced and rapidly changing with a focus on renewable and sustainable energy sources. An electronic and electrical degree from NTU can put you at the forefront of this exciting technological revolution by providing the skills and knowledge needed to be a great engineer.

During this course, you will develop your knowledge and engineering skills by participating in several industry-led projects. These are set by external industry experts to make you think, work, and behave like a professional engineer. You’ll learn to use the latest digital technologies to deliver creative and effective solutions for a wide range of engineering problems in electronic and electrical domains.
We’ve embedded sustainability as a core part of our curriculum and you’ll spend time looking at solutions for environmental-related issues.

The Grand Challenge, a concept design project posed by industry, marks the end of your first and second years. You will present your results at an end-of-year show before focusing on an individual research project. This forms a substantial part of the Masters level modules for the MEng qualification.
