Every device with an electrical current running through it has been designed, built, and manufactured by electronic engineers. They work closely with product designers, manufacturers, and consumer experts to develop ideas for new products and to make them work.
Qatar’s leading programme in Electronic Engineering, City University Qatar’s Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Honours degree, is designed to meet the region’s growing demand for skilled engineers. This programme equips students with the expertise to excel in the fast-evolving fields of engineering and technology, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience in cutting-edge innovations.
The BEng in Electronic Engineering at City University Qatar mirrors the curriculum, learning outcomes, and academic standards of the UK-delivered programme. Ulster University’s BEng in Electronic Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). City University Qatar ensures complete alignment with these high-quality standards. Graduates may be eligible to apply for accreditation, membership, or further professional qualifications with relevant regulatory bodies, subject to the specific requirements of their chosen jurisdiction and career pathway.
This programme provides a strong balance of theoretical and practical learning, incorporating modern technologies such as AI, robotics, and biomedical engineering. With opportunities for specialisation and career advancement, graduates will be well-prepared to contribute to Qatar’s engineering and technology sectors, driving innovation and shaping the future of the industry.
