BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Dual Award) – Bridging Programme

The programme is designed to holders of a diploma or associate degree from the Kingdom of Bahrain or its equivalent from outside the Kingdom of Bahrain, provided the relevant authorities accredit the qualification in the issuing country.

The students study the discipline of Electrical and Electronic Engineering to Honors degree level and may wish to achieve professional status later on. This programme is designed to embrace developments in the industry, in particular the ECUK UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

Upon successful completion of the degree programme, a student will be awarded two sets of certificates and transcripts – one from LSBU and one from ASU.

BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering Bridging Programme Aims

The programme is designed to equip engineering graduates with the knowledge, technical skills, and professional mindset necessary to succeed in the field. Graduates will demonstrate five core competencies:

1. Deep Technical and Foundational Mastery: Possess a coherent, detailed, and forefront-informed understanding of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This includes core principles, advanced knowledge of hybrid electronic systems, computing hardware/software, control theory, and relevant mathematics/circuit theory.
2. Engineering Design and Application: The ability to apply theoretical and practical skills to review, consolidate, and extend knowledge, demonstrating proficiency in initiating and executing successful design projects using modern analysis, measurement, and advanced software/hardware tools.
3. Advanced Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: The capacity to critically evaluate, analyze, and model complex engineering systems from first principles to advanced simulation. This includes making sound technical judgments, framing appropriate questions, and identifying a robust range of solutions to complex problems, even with incomplete data.
4. Professionalism and Enterprise: An appreciation for, and the ability to apply, a professional engineering approach in all activities, including innovation and enterprise. This incorporates the exercise of initiative, personal responsibility, and ethical decision-making in complex and unpredictable contexts.
5. Autonomous and Lifelong Learning: The skill set required for managing their own learning and professional development. This includes the ability to effectively utilize scholarly reviews and primary technical sources (e.g., refereed research articles) to maintain knowledge currency and undertake further professional or academic training.
