So in addition to the mainstream commercial activities of circuit and systems design, of semiconductors and communications, we also see our graduates taking up careers in project management, broadcasting, with the civil service, and with the police and armed services. You will find that a Dundee engineering degree opens the door to a surprisingly wide range of career opportunities.
teaching and assessment
Our teaching uses enhanced resources in the form of state-of-the-art laboratories and expertise in semiconductor devices, microelectronics, computer aided electronic circuit design, renewable energy systems, optoelectronics and analytical electron microscopy.
Most teaching takes place in small groups with easy access to staff and a personal approach to lectures, tutorials, and practical work. Guidance is available to you throughout your programme of study to ensure that you make good progress.
A variety of assessment methods is used, so in some cases we will ask you to submit coursework and laboratory reports, in others you will take examinations, and sometimes we will simply ask you to discuss what you have achieved.
All BEng students undertake a research project in their final year of study under the supervision of a member of staff. Previous projects have included:
• an interactive image system for diagnosis of sight defects in children
• robot automation of NCR ATM reliability tests • GUI for camera control • simulation of organic semiconductor materials
• regenerative vehicle braking systems.
Your final degree award will depend mainly on your achievements during the later levels of study. The BEng Honours degrees include a 25% carry-forward from Level 3 into Level 4.
