Imperial College London
Imperial College London offers a wide range of specialised Engineering degrees and has a strong reputation for excellence in teaching and research.
The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has over 40 academic staff, 100 research staff, 540 undergraduate students and 90 M.Sc. students and 110 research postgraduate students. The department offers both BEng (3-year) and MEng (4-year) programmes in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
The MEng degree can also be taken "with Management" (creating a mix of business and engineering topics in the final two years) for students who want to equip themselves for managing engineering businesses.
The first two years of the course cover the essential elements of electrical engineering across a broad definition of the topic. This important because the modern power engineer will rely heavily on technologies such as signal processing, control theory and communications to manage the power network of the future. The principles of energy conversion, electro-magnetics, electrical machines and electricity networks are the core topics for power engineers.
The Control and Power Group is one of five specialist groups in the department and is responsible for the teaching of elective courses in power engineering in the final two years. The group has six staff concentrating on power and seven who focus on control theory and applications. The group seeks to teach a forward looking set of courses than equip engineers to tackle the great challenges for the future electricity supply system.
The courses feature discussion of the sources of energy available; the means by which new and renewable energy are integrated into a network; the power electronics that will enable more flexible and precise operation; the principles of design, control and management that ensure reliable supply; and the economic and regulatory means by which the energy policy can be achieved
