In electronic engineering we apply electricity to carry, process and store information. You will discover how electronics depends heavily on semiconductor technology, and that while electrical and electronic engineering depend on the same fundamental scientific laws, they diverge widely beyond these basics. Teaching and learning The programme is taught through a mix of lectures, tutorials, Work Based Learning (WBL), and laboratory work. All modules are supported through UDo, the University of Derby Online, so you have access to essential support materials at any time of the day or night.
