About This Course
This Applied Electrical/Electronic Engineering Systems Degree Apprenticeship is delivered by Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ and Grŵp Llandrillo Menai. Degree apprenticeships provide an alternative route to traditional higher education – combining work with college and university study.Â
The aim of the course is to give students a broad understanding of electrical and electronic engineering and business principles to assist them to become competent engineers with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for a professional career in the electrical and electronic engineering industry. The programme develops given knowledge in engineering principles in both electrical/electronic and mechanical theory in to applying them in real situations. It provides practical skills in design, testing, heath and safety. It develops mathematical approached to engineering and theory demonstrating this in the final year with Power Engineering and Control Systems.
