GCU Pathways students enrol at Glasgow Caledonian University on the MEng Electrical Power Engineering (GCU Pathways). Over the first two years, students study HND Electrical Engineering at Glasgow Kelvin College in preparation for transfer to the MEng Electrical Power Engineering programme in Year 3.Power system engineers are in high demand as the successful production, transmission and distribution of electrical power becomes increasingly important. The switch to renewable energy from wind, wave and tidal sources will require substantial transmission and distribution infrastructure development. Our students get a strong grounding in sustainable energy production so will be ideally placed to capitalise on this significant growth.This course has been designed in collaboration with industry and has a strong emphasis on practical experience. It provides a broad education in electrical, mechanical, renewables and electronic engineering, alongside specialist modules in power engineering and power electronics. Students have access to well-equipped computer aided engineering labs as well as electrical and electronic laboratories with leading technologies. The course offers two industrial based placements, during trimester B of Year 3 and/or on completion of Year 3 - one for 48 weeks. These are not compulsory or guaranteed placements.
