Do electrical and electronic engineering students do a lot of experiments?
The amount of laboratory and practical work varies by university, department, course, and year of study. An electrical and electronic engineering curriculum may include laboratory or practical classes involving circuits, electrical and electronic components, measurement, and control. In addition to the experiments, students may be asked to organize and analyze data and write reports.
Key points
- Some courses use experiments to work with circuit and electrical or electronic principles covered in lectures.
- Students may analyze measurement results and write reports after experiments.
- Practical content varies across areas such as programming, communications, power systems, and control.
Things to check
- The number, timing, and assignment load of laboratory courses vary by university, department, and entry year, so check the curriculum and syllabi of the program you are considering.
