In a world where electrical and electronic engineering empowers the way we live, and is inextricably linked to almost everything we do, where does Electronic Engineering and Engineering Software fit? This video offers some context
Course Description
The first year of this General Entry Course is a common year and students study the same fundamental modules with elements of hardware, software, and electronic principles. In the following years students choose to specialise in their chosen discipline of Electronic Engineering or Engineering Software in greater depth. Students do not need to finalise their choice of specialisation until Year 2 of the course.
Electronic Engineering involves the understanding of both hardware and software and how they combine within high technology systems from the design of nanotech devices to the operation of a high-speed computer networks. Engineering Software involves the design and development of software systems and various forms of computer-based applications. Software Engineering is important due to the ever-increasing use of mobile technology, the increasing complexity of high technology solutions, and the emergence of new areas such as Internet of Things. Both courses allow the graduates pursue a wide range of engineering interests and career choices. You will use your imagination, creativity and knowledge to provide society with the complex electronic and software systems.
