Electrical engineering deals with the study of motors and generators and their control, power transmission, and distribution systems, as well as the principles that underpin them.

Electronic engineering depends heavily on semiconductor technology, which has advanced significantly since the invention of the transistor, leading to the so-called microchip, the world of mobile phones and laptops, and the Internet of Things. Both electrical and electronic engineering are underpinned by the same fundamental scientific laws, but diverge widely beyond those basics.

Our annual Derbot (Derby merged with the word 'robot') competition will give you the opportunity in your final year to work as a team to a set brief, creating a robot from scratch before testing its ability on a track.
