Summary
The rapid technological change that influences nearly every aspect of our lives is built on the all-pervasive application of electronics, communications and computer technologies. There is huge potential for graduates who combine the ability to analyse, design, implement and test such electronic systems, with an understanding of the convergence of these technologies in modern integrated systems, in fields as diverse as audio production, robotics and mobile communications.
Course Information
The BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering Degree combines a study of the enabling technologies of electronics and communications with applications relating to design and development of real systems. Graduates will be versatile, adaptable, technically literate, creative and acquire practical design skills relevant to the specification, design, simulation and test of electronic and microelectronic systems.
Course Aims
There are many exciting graduate employment opportunities available including:
• Integrated circuit design and test engineers
• Robotics and intelligent systems designers and integrators
• Automatic identification and data capture systems designers and integrators
• Software developers for embedded processing applications
• Industrial process automation engineers
• Audio and sound recording equipment designers and systems integrators
• Automotive electronic systems engineers
• Virtually any industry that uses electronic systems in its products or processes
Prospects
To provide graduates with the following skills and knowledge:
• The principal features and operations of electronic and microelectronic components and systems
• Fundamental concepts, principles and theories that underpin analogue electronics, digital electronics, communication (both radio and network) and embedded systems
• Relevant analytical and mathematical modelling techniques used to solve problems in electronic circuit design
• General tools and techniques for the specification, design and verification of software for embedded systems
• Practical skills necessary for the specification, design implementation and testing of electronic and microelectronic systems
• Digital signal processing techniques applied to electronics and communication systems
• Commercial, social and business factors that influence the choice of solution to engineering problems
• The organisational, teamwork and practical management approaches required by professional engineers
