Bachelor of Engineering - Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering

This integrated degree in Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering will provide students with the skills needed to work with both software and hardware to design exciting electronic and computer-based systems. Students will put theory into practice from day one, working in cutting-edge facilities that feature electronic circuits measurement analysers, virtual instrumentation kits, PCB prototyping printers, circuit design and simulation tools, internet of things and industry 4.0 technology. Students will learn how to combine software and hardware to design the exciting electronic and computer-based systems that shape the way in which one lives. Based on leading research and designed with strong industrial input, the degree gives students thorough knowledge in core engineering subjects such as electrical, electronics and computer theory, analog and digital electronics as well as low level hardware programming. The application of mathematics to the design of control systems will give students insight into the positioning and manipulation of automated machinery. In addition, they will cover digital signal processing, Internet of Things, and address the professional and ethical issues in engineering.

Real world experience can be obtained as part of their study by completing an optional sandwich year placement / industrial internship. Whether they want to work in industry, launch their own start-up company, or enter the world of research and development, the degree will give them the head start needed for a career in this rapidly growing sector.

This programme is seeking accreditation with the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The course has been designed to meet the needs of accreditation and with a view to back dating the effective date to include all students who graduate from the programme.
