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 chose discipline of Electronic Engineering or Engineering Software in greater depth. Students do not need to finalise their choice until the end of Year 1.
This course is designed to produce professional engineers who can design and optimise complex hardware, software and communications systems, and you will be at the forefront of developing the connected world. Youll develop the skills you need to work in all aspects of the ICT industry, including software design, information technology, telecommunications, and computer network engineering.
Youll combine expertise in engineering with advanced knowledge of electronic design, computer hardware and software, and be able to apply your skills to designing systems ranging from the embedded microprocessors in modern mobile devices to high-performance computing and Microelectronic device design. Youll be trained to be creative and inventive, and able to solve difficult problems in areas. Youll spend many hours in our labs, developing strong technical and design skills. Each of the eight semesters, youll take six modules, designed to provide a broad-based technical foundation in electronic or software engineering.
In Years 2 & 3, youll undertake a major hardware or software project, involving strong interaction between you and your supervisor. In your final year, youll work on an open-ended design project that will require research, project management and a creative approach to the solution. You can select elective modules such as software design, network engineering, communications systems or microchip design so as to study what interests you in greater depth.
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
