The Department has an international reputation for teaching and research excellence across the broad spectrum of electronic and electrical engineering. Considered one of the premier departments of our kind, our expertise spans electrical power engineering & renewable energy, telecommunications & signal processing, ultrasonics, microsystems, photonics, and control systems. Research activities are driven by six strategically focused groups, which reflect the Department’s scale, diversity and vision, and underpin its teaching programmes. The latest UK Government Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) affirmed our status for “world-leading and internationally excellent” research, rating us top in Scotland – by a long way – and 3rd in the UK.
Research-led, we are recognised for innovation in electronic & electrical engineering education and are home to several unique and internationally-leading facilities. These include Europe’s first research centre dedicated to the development of ‘smart’ technologies, Europe’s only GSE Power Station Control Room Simulator, and the UK’s only Wind Energy Systems Doctoral Training Centre. Our strong partnerships with government, industry and a variety of global research agencies have resulted in a large scholarship programme, an outstanding record of entrepreneurship and the commercial adoption of our research results and innovations across key industrial sectors. Company successes include DiagnosticMonitoring Systems and SmarterGridSolutions.
We operate substantial and well-established collaborations with academic and industrial partners in Europe, the Americas, Indian Sub-Continent and SE Asia. With over 230 students from 40 nations, we have a vibrant international Graduate School. Students are the heart of our vision and all of our activities focus on supporting them to fulfil their potential to become the engineers of the future who shape and inform society. Teaching led by world-class scholars combined with pioneering research and state-of-the-art facilities ensures the School achieves this – delivering a modern and globally relevant education in a friendly and supportive environment.
