As the cost of computer technology drops, modern electronic systems are now a hybrid of software and electronic hardware.
These programmes focus on design and development of products and systems that have computer and electronic technologies at their core
Students acquire skills that have global relevance and are attractive to employers both in engineering and beyond
Computer Electronic Systems Engineering

Computer Electronic Systems are everywhere.
Here are a few examples……
Where do graduates work?
7
Automotive Aviation Defence Entertainment Healthcare Power Systems Control Assistive Technology Mobile Devices Gaming Networking Consumer electronics
Examples of Computer Electronic Systems
8
What’s inside these products and systems? Electronics (microelectronics); Embedded software
Many products will communicate with the outside world “Internet enabled” systems (the
internet of everything) They sit at the “edges” of much
larger (global) connected systems
Common factors? .

First Two Years have Common Curriculum for all BEng and BSc Students don’t often know what they really
want to study in-depth! They really need to explore the subject area
first Our programmes allow students to select their
specialisms at the end of Year-2 when they should have a sense of direction
Programme Structure
10
The BEng programme is for students who wish to study and apply deep technical skills, to work as innovators and within research and development. All routes include various types of programming and electronic design: Digital Systems Engineering
Electronic and programmable technologies , Digital Signal Processing, Real-Time Systems
Network and Communications Systems Engineering Electronic and programmable technologies applied to the
communications and network industry. Robotic and Mechatronic Systems Engineering
Electronic and programmable technologies applied to systems that include motion control, sensing and intelligence
BEng (Hons) meets requirements for CEng with the IET
BEng (Honours) - Specialisms
11
For students who wish a more broadly-based electronics degree programme and who wish to become system integrators, application engineers, sales support engineers, etc.
Includes various specialist options: With Management With Software Engineering
Final year includes opportunity to take specialist modules from Digital Systems and Communications Systems.
B.Sc. (Hons) meets requirements for IEng with the IET
BSc (Honours)

Skills mismatch between general skills and personal attributes in recent IT graduates …
Engineers need to be more than Engineers
13
We understand that industry is interested in a much wider skill set than in previous decades
A designer or engineer for the 21st century must be multi-skilled
Our content matches the evolving needs of business and industry…

Additional Information
19
Each year our students take part in a major design and implementation project that challenges them to integrate and apply their new skills
Years 1-3 – group design project Year 4 – Individual design project
Future Engineers need to Practice their Design Skills...
20
Interaction with industry is provided with invited speakers from key electronics companies and design companies on aspects of: Technology Product Design Employability
Future Engineers need Design Skills...
21
Design is the planning that lays the basis for the making of every object or system
Students must learn how to manage the process of innovation
Understand current ‘state-of-the-art’ Research, evaluate and refine ideas for new
products and systems
Future Engineers need Design Skills...
22
All students in BEng and BSc are free to take an optional one year industrial placement opportunity
This takes place at the end of Year-3 An opportunity to gain experience in design
engineering and business organisation Also an opportunity to gain important
employability skills Students are also encouraged to apply for
Summer placements
Industrial Placement
23
Through these companies our students can access global opportunities to compete against students worldwide in competitions such as:
Freescale Cup – ‘Intelligent Car’ Racing Texas Instruments Analogue Design Contest $10,000 for first prize!
Major Partnerships
24
We have strong partnerships with leading companies in electronic design, manufacturing and software, such as: Texas Instruments Freescale ARM
These companies sponsor us to provide the latest microelectronic hardware and software for our laboratories.
The sponsorship also allows us to provide flexible learning for students, who can access hardware and software to take away to work in their own time.
