Course Overview

Students will explore a wide range of computer hardware and software engineering, electronics, digital systems, embedded systems, computer and network design, artificial intelligence, security, IoT and software development for a variety of fields in today's fast-changing marketplace including modern programming languages and software tools – you’ll cover it all.

This course is distinctive as it will equip students to exploit the expected exponential growth in highly connected devices and systems. The study develops analytical, computer and applied skills that enhances student’s prospects of employment and consultancy in a wide range of industries, or of running their own business. Students desiring intensive study in electronics and computer engineering will find this course to be a challenging and rewarding experience. After two-years study, the students can opt to having one year industrial placement. The sandwich option, is a significant and distinctive feature of the course, presents an opportunity to understand the way that the industry functions and to gain an appreciation of the priorities in the commercial environment.

The curriculum of this course will enable graduates to obtain the theoretical and practical knowledge to be involved in the design of electronic and computer-based systems to address highly specialized and specific application needs by enhancing their employment opportunities. The best aspect of this course is that its graduates are capable to take technical responsibility for complex engineering systems and are well-prepared for lifelong learning that will enable them to move beyond today’s technology to meet the challenges of the future.

The course is made up of several modules and each module is delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials, practical workshops, computing workshops, all of which amounts to directed teaching (classroom contact). There is a variance in the makeup of the number of hours dedicated to lectures, workshops, but the total number of study hours attracted by each module is dependent on the module weighting in credits. Typically, a 20-credit module, attracts 200 hours of learning which constitutes both directed learning and independent learning.

Further, teaching and learning in this programme ensures that graduates have the capacity to meet the needs of employers behaving as an agent of change, producing graduates who are prepared to move into employment with skills and expectations that benefit their employers. Graduates must be able to keep abreast with changes, and a key requirement of this programme is equipping students with the mechanisms for achieving this.
