The usage of electronic, automation, and motor drive systems has grown immensely over the past few years in both industrial and domestic applications. This domination is based on recent advances in power electronics, electric motors, and control engineering. It has been observed that almost half of the global electrical energy is consumed today by electric drives and automation systems. Electrical and Electronic engineers are also involved with advanced industrial control including design, software programming, and control of embedded systems using microcontrollers and microcomputers. The telecoms for mobile phone applications require electronic engineers to provide the development, implementation, and maintenance of advanced communication systems and devices. There are also many roles for them in the energy industries, for example, designing and running complex control systems such as those needed to run the National Grid or to control a nuclear power station. To prepare students for these fast-changing roles, the program's specialism covers design, modeling, and test algorithms for complex electrical and electronic assemblies. Software development is an integral part of a modern electronic engineer’s role and to support this, software tools such as VEE, MULTI SIM, and MATLAB are used extensively in the course.
