  1. B.Eng (Hons) & B.Sc(Hons) Computer & Electronic Systems Engineering

  2. Some Headlines

  3. Rapid advance of technology • From this ($3995 1983)

  4. Rapid advance of technology • To this (£399) • 1.4GHz Quad Core processor • 64GB Memory • 720 x 1280 display • 8 megapixel camera • WiFi • GPS • MP3 player • Video camera • Radio • Video conferencing • Internet • Organiser • Voice activation • And it can send and receive telephone calls

  5. Computer Electronic Systems Engineering • 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

  6. Where do graduates work? Computer Electronic Systems are everywhere. Here are a few examples……

  7. Examples of Computer Electronic Systems Automotive Aviation Defence Entertainment Healthcare Power Systems Control Assistive Technology Mobile Devices Gaming Networking Consumer electronics

  8. Common factors? . • 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

  9. Programme Structure • 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

  10. BEng (Honours) - Specialisms • 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

  11. BSc (Honours) • 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 IEngwith the IET

  12. Engineers need to be more than Engineers Skills mismatch between general skills and personal attributes in recent IT graduates …

  13. Relevance is Built In 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…

  14. Communications Wired, Wireless, Cellular Networks Team Working Digital Electronics Analog Electronics The Total Design Process Signal Processing Integrated Design Projects Key Skills Mathematics Strategic Management New Venture Creation Mechanical Systems and Materials Robotics and Instrumentation Software Development Supply Chain Management

  15. Industrial Salaries – UK • Newly graduated electrical/electronics engineers are in the range of £18,000 - £33,000 - mean approx £25,000. (2013) • Incorporated electronics engineers have a mean of £46,000 (2010), • Chartered engineers have a mean of £68,000 (2010), • Highly experienced engineers (top 10%) earn in excess of £100,000 (2010) • http://targetjobs.co.uk/career-sectors/engineering/284465-engineering-salary-round-up-from-graduate-to-chartered-engineer • 25% of FTSE 100 led by engineers

  16. Getting in • Minimum Entry requirements • B.Eng. • Higher BBBB • B.Sc. • Higher BBB • Essential Subjects • Mathematics, Physics/Technological Studies • Recommended Subjects • Information Technology or Computing • FE Applicants • Year 2 : 15 credit Electrical/Electronic Eng. (Must include Maths for Eng. 1 & 2) • Year 3 : HND Electrical/Electronic Eng. (Must include Maths for Eng. 1, 2 & 3)

  18. Additional Information

  19. Future Engineers need to Practice their Design Skills... 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

  20. Future Engineers need Design Skills... • Interaction with industry is provided with invited speakers from key electronics companies and design companies on aspects of: • Technology • Product Design • Employability

  21. Future Engineers need Design Skills... 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

  22. Industrial Placement 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

  23. Major Partnerships 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!

  24. Major Partnerships • 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.
