Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: H600

Here's what University of Hertfordshire says about its Electrical and Electronic Engineering course.

Many modern products, from washing machines to motor vehicles, operate on electrical or electronic subsystems. These often contain digital and microprocessor-based circuits, sensors and control systems that sense and control the environment and may control large amounts of electrical power – for example traction control in electric locomotives. These and other areas, such as electrical power transmission and conversion, constitute the subject of electrical and electronic engineering.
