What is electronic engineering?All organisations, from hospitals and factories to banks, offices and small industrial concerns, increasingly depend on electronic engineering. Electronics is used in everyday technology, from mobile computing to Formula 1, from computer networks to automotive technology and from production to administration and financial control.
This course
Gain the specialised technical skills needed by employers in the electronics industries on this professionally focused course. To provide you with the skills required for the workplace, you work on individual projects involving product development, demonstrations and technical reporting.
You study computing and electronic systems, principles of electronic engineering and digital signal processing, alongside company structure and quality control.In your first year, you study the core engineering modules with engineering students from other specialisms. These modules provide a common foundation of engineering principles, knowledge and key skills, as well as the areas of engineering applications and personal skills development.
You work in excellent facilities that include state-of-the-art software and dedicated electrical and electronic labs. You also have the opportunity to visit our specialist research labs and be involved in research directed projects. This gives you an insight into the cutting edge of electronic engineering work.Once you have developed your knowledge and understanding of electronic engineering, take advantage of the opportunity to use what you’ve learnt with a one-year work placement in industry. We help you find a placement and negotiate a sensible salary which can range from £12,000 to £26,000. You gain new skills, build contacts and learn how industry works.
Previous students have had placements in organisations including • Siemens, Solihull • CSE-Global (UK) Ltd, Sheffield • Serck Controls Ltd, Barnsley • ARM, Cambridge • TBG Solutions, Chesterfield • Kostal Ltd, Rotherham.
In your final year, you continue studying electronic engineering subjects and can choose specialist option modules to study.
You also complete a major project which involves identifying, designing and implementing solutions to an engineering problem. Example projects include• applying computer vision algorithm for implementation of an interactive flight simulator
• magnetic muscle for robot manipulators
• study and development of solar powered refrigeration system
Key areas of study
You study the specifics of software and hardware systems applications, and software and hardware technologies, as well as computer modelling and mathematics for electronic engineering.
You gain a grounding in the principal themes of • digital and analogue electronics • electronic systems design • signal processing • engineering analysis.
These themes support further study of specialist applications of electronics to computer, communication and control systems. You can also design and build working devices, and evaluate commercial electronic products.
