Description
The production of Electrical Power and its management and control is at the heart of an infrastructure, provided by engineers, on which so much of our modern society depends.
Electrical Power Engineering encompasses the fields of power generation, transmission, distribution and utilisation, and is also concerned with energy conversion and the design of systems based upon electric motors and electronic drive technologies.
The pace of technological innovation has significantly weakened the boundaries between the traditional engineering disciplines, with employers expecting engineers to function over a wide range of possible solutions to an engineering task. The Electronic Engineering and the Electrical Power Engineering degrees at Glasgow Caledonian University have been designed to enable the graduate to work in such a challenging environment and be able to adapt and change as circumstances dictate.
This innovative degree is designed to produce highly skilled Electrical Power Engineers who have expertise ranging from engineering system design to communication systems and management. It is a broad-based programme, underpinned by two foundation years giving you a grounding in mathematics and the disciplines of mechanical, electronic and electrical engineering. Consequently on completion of Year 2 it is possible to transfer to Year 3 of either the Electronic Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Manufacturing Systems Engineering or Mechanical Electronic Systems Engineering programmes.
