Electronic Engineering at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ in the first year covers basic elements of the subject area so you do mathematics, programming fundamentals, laboratory experiments and circuit theory and design. Then in your second year it's just a build up upon what you've done already with a bit of a business element and then in your third year it's kind of you integrate all that you've learned into your individual project.

What I love most about electronic engineering is the amount of opportunities that will be available to me when I finish the degree. The ere is an unlimited amount of industries that I can go into - aerospace, telecommunications, research or even automotive electronics. The degree is accredited by the institution of Engineering and Technology which means that we get to a very high standard and also because of this we get a free membership for the institution for the duration of our course and also after we finish we'll still be members so though we have the right to become or start on the path of becoming eventually a chartered engineer.

I decided to study at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ because of the staff to student ratio so you get to know everybody on an individual basis which makes the learning experience a lot more personal and you actually feel like an individual not just a student number to a lecturer. Being taught by lecturers that are research active - it's very inspiring but it's pretty amazing because they teach you this like first-hand the research that they discover and it's it's really impressive work and it does inspire you makes you more ambitious. At Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ in the Electronic Engineering School we have access to many facilities such as well-equipped laboratories with a lecture room attached to it, computer rooms with networked computers and industrial software and we've also got state of the art class one thousand clean rooms so it's quite amazing being able to see where you know where the magic kind of happens and starts.

When I'm not studying up on university I like to go on many adventures such as hiking, climbing up mountains such as Snowdon, just pretty much taking advantage of the landscape and the area that Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is situated in. Also, there are over a hundred and fifty clubs and societies here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ which are all free to join which is incredible for our students and also it's just such a great opportunity to try new things also to make lots of new friends.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ has amazing links with industries and between the second and third year we get the opportunity to have a year in industry which is amazing players we've experienced get to apply all practical knowledge to actual practices and we therefore become more attractive to future employers. The advice I would give to somebody considering studying here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is don't think twice about enrolling here. It's such an incredible university, the quality of teaching reflects this and the friends that you'll make and how happy the students are here it's you know just a true reflection how amazing your university experience will be here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ.

Hello, I'm Iestyn Pierce at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. We're here in Neuadd Pritchard Jones Hall today for the culmination of the student year, the project Expo. Hi. My name's Stephanie Williams and I'm from a company, Ariel Works and we're a drone selling company based here in North Wales in Anglesey. And we're here at the expo today because we support students from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. And we've been taking students on now for the past three years, um, generally from the product design departments, but we're also open to other departments as well. We're really happy to be at the expo here today. We did designer for Animated Technologies. My name's Jack. I'm one of the developers on the team and we're here today at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ Expo, um, to support the students and young innovators, uh, in their development after third year graduation. It's quite a nice feeling to be brought back. I myself was a student here. So, it's been. It's an honour to be able to speak, and I'm kind of be the voice on behalf of these students. Animated technologies develop animations of VR and AR projects for a clientele base that we have. We have done some work alongside people like Space Forge, where we've done animations for their satellites. We've done applications for ITL and Centrica for some of their products to showcase to investment. And we've also done VR projects for governmental and councils. We're currently showcasing on the VR headsets a r uh, sorry, a VR application for the watch learning centres in Wales where we, uh, helping kids who, first language. All speakers develop their Welsh language techniques. Hi, I'm Alex, I'm here with my supervisor Noel Bristow So to discuss my final year poster. It's about wind turbines, offshore flow, and, how they can be more efficient than onshore turbines. So that's brilliant. So do you wanna tell me about the web page that you developed? So I developed a web page. Um, when we click on the shapefile, it provides us with a average wind speed for that area. If clicked on, then it develops a graph and a backend server, which then is matched to a turbine. Now. Then it then sends back to the L, then send back to the user, an average uh power output of megawatts per year. Hi, I'm Angela and Ali. I'm from Kuwait and I'm doing electronic engineering at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. So I would I would introduce my project, which is, which is uh, now robots uh, which can be used for autism therapy, which is I designed two games, uh, this games that can improve communication skills for the autism children. So, my inspiration, first, my, my cousin, which have autism, I saw my my aunts going through this and, making sure his communication skills are improving and. And he was delayed from the children from his age. And I said, I said, mother, for that sorrowing son, I see see her go through with this. And she says, it's so I, I want to design something that's kind of cool. So some children and for children specifically. Excellent. Thank you. Hello, my name is Robert Siegel. I'm studying computer science that my favourite part in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is I think professors can help. Like what I really want, but what do you really want to do? So there's the best fit point. So today's poster exhibition that my poster is reinventing browser interactions of all reality. Then I found the problem. This is like. Oh, by the way, if you use that these devices, you feel the same thing as you using a laptop, laptop and these dual monitors. So, I feel disappointed, but. So I read the design of the these layout like browser interactions for reality. Hi, my name is Katie and I'm a final year student studying computer science at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. My favourite thing about the university is the wide range of modules that they offer.

I'm presenting my post today on visualising the open that database. Hi, I'm Doctor Perkins that I'm a deputy Head of School for Computer Science and Engineering. This is our end of year expo where students get to share their work that I've done on their projects, with the public and with employers all around the university and the local regions. It's a really exciting event for students, especially as they get to see how people respond to what they've done. The supervisor here also, and they mark their work and the marks, the culmination of that work that's gone through over the whole time they've been with us. So it's a really exciting and fun event for everybody involved. Um, hello. My name is Glory I'm a student of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ at the moment, um, studying a PhD in computer science. More and more in technology. Previously, I used to be a student, a master's student in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ in advanced computer science. Um, it was an exciting opportunity to start in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. I love the environment. I love the lecturers and the know what they're doing. The research team was also great. And then after doing the Masters or while I was doing it, I pursued funding to door. And yeah, I got the funding and there I am doing the PhD and I love Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ because I think it's the best place for students to be, especially if you need to study and you need to get work done. It's it's a good place to be. My name is Hamid Muhammad. I'm from Kuwait. I'm one of the international students at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. I'm an electronics engineering. It's my last year, hopefully.

One best thing about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. The best thing about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ, it's the people of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. They're really nice people, beautiful people to deal with, easy to deal with. And they're always smiling. Hello. My name is Javier Pena. I'm a student in computer science. my favourite thing about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is the relationship you get with your supervisor and your personal teacher. the lecturers here are always willing to help you and get the best out of you. And I'm here showing my dissertation project, which is a robotic arm trying to simulate 4.0 factories and smart industry. Hi, my name is Jeff Abraham and I study BSc Computer Science. my favourite thing about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is the tutors. They're all so happy and friendly. very very helpful. So I am studying computer science, but I am quite passionate about animals and the natural world. So my dissertation is on conservation of species and how to persuade people using data. All right. My name is Katherine Wayne, and I am studying, um, computer science at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. my favourite thing about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ has actually been my course. I've loved it. It's been everything I hoped it would be. And. Yeah. So my project is in, um, bringing cyber security to as many people as possible because currently, um, my, there is only, um, security on transport layers, and this is about bringing it to the, to the client side and having a bit more on that sort of level. So yeah, that's that's my project. Hi. My name's Lilly Mawdsley and I'm studying electronic engineering at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. One thing I do like about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is that places are so excited by lots of natural beauty and like to see, which I enjoy. This is my project. I'm doing a post sight to treat a skin condition, but I can cause blisters when under friction. So what I do is, create an electric post so medication can be administered into your skin without causing any irritation or anything like that. Hello? I'm y'all I international student, electronic information engineering. So my favourite thing, uh, of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is the, uh, there is the best study environments, for me, I really like it, enjoying the life. My poster is about more than ten gigabit per second. I am researching fibre transmissions is a it's about, uh, uh, explore, explore more advanced uh, OFDM transmission. Assistance. So, uh, I hope you like my, uh, project. Thank you. My name is Panos Richards. I'm a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science, and I'm also the Director of Research. As a supervisor for projects, I, um, uh, overseeing activities that students do in the third year. Mainly the whole activity has to do with getting the students familiar with a research topic, usually close to our research activities that we do as researchers. Give them a couple of pointers on how to start learning about the theme. They go about looking at the literature, what people have done in the past, and then they start applying all the knowledge that they have from different modules throughout the year the building of prototypes, potentially evaluating the prototypes, always looking into the information that they have from prior work, from the research domain, and hopefully at the end they end up with a project which they're quite proud of, and they can actually use it for interviews and showcase their activities and, potentially maybe get a conference publication if it's really top notch. Hello, my name is Dr Yanhua Hong I'm a senior lecturer at a school of computer science and electronic engineering. My research area is a photo electronics. I teach Optical communication. I'm also the module organiser, for final years, a project of School of Electronica Engineering. I'm very proud with what all the students have done in their final project.
