Electronics and Computer Engineering BEng (Hons) Welcome Pack
Welcome to Electronics and Computer Engineering BEng (Hons) 2023.
The BEng (Hons) programme covers the range of technical topics and associated areas that would be expected of a modern engineer entering industry today. Our Electronics and Computer Engineering BEng (Hons) degree provides the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and competencies required to enter a range of Electronics and Computer Engineering related careers. This includes electronics principles, PCB building and circuit assembly, Integrated Circuit (IC) design, basic robotics, schematic diagram, electronic CAD design, simulations, and emulations. The programme goes through the exploration of software/hardware design concepts and implementation.
Throughout the programme, you will be able to explore and implement exciting software and hardware design concepts. You will also analyse and engage with emerging trends and innovations such as Internet of Things (IoT), Embedded Systems, electronic circuits, mobile application development. Further areas of focus for the electronics and computer engineering degree include programmable electronics, sensor development, basic robotics, hardware artificial intelligence and control devices. Students are also taught about the importance of ethical technical and business practices within modern organisations. On successful completion of year two of the BEng (Hons) students have the opportunity to progress onto the integrated Meng (Masters) programme. Engagement with industry is a key feature of the course which is supported by local engineering employers through the Northants Engineering Training Partnership (NETP).
Assessment is by coursework, oral presentations, group work, practical reports, critical reviews and end-of-module exams.
