Students will become familiar with the software required for
industrial-related problems, with key business concepts,
manufacturing techniques and electronic-engineering related
issues.
In the second year you’ll study real time systems, data
communications and electronic circuits. The final year focuses on
electronic design for industry. Students also do an extensive final
year project, based on their own interests. The course is
accredited by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
and helps students prepare for Chartered Engineer status.
Professional accreditation
The course is accredited for professional status with the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and the Engineering Council.
