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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
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!
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.
