Undergraduate student profiles

See what our undergraduate students have to say about their Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees.

Angel, student in ACSE

That was the first time I really felt like this was what I wanted to do. This is engineering. This is mechatronics

Angel Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng

My name's Angel, I'm 21 years old. I study mechatronic engineering and I grew up in France. I came to the UK around GCSE time and I just never left!

Khaled Saad Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng

Initially, Khaled Saad didn’t apply to University. It was only when his grades came out on results day, he was encouraged to apply through clearing.

Jake Roskilly

ACSE has enabled me to look at everyday objects differently and given me a view towards solving the problems of the future.

Jake Roskilly Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng

I joined the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering (ACSE) in 2015 and am currently in my final year of study on the Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng. It has provided me with insight into the physical dynamics of a range of systems from biological to digital.

Rachae Rix in the Control Lab

I really enjoy being an engineering student as I get to find out how systems work and how things are put together.

Rachael Rix Systems and Control Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng

I decided to do systems and control engineering at university because I did an A-level on it. When I was looking around at universities I was originally looking for electrical and electronics and I came to a University of Sheffield open day and found the systems and control information desk.
