About this course
MEng, BEng in Electronics and Computer Engineering, an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on the integration of hardware, software, and intelligent systems. Core topics include Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Control Systems, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The fourth year includes an industry-based group project and optional modules. The first year introduces foundational subjects through Circuit Analysis and Design, Computational Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, Introduction to Communication Systems, Digital Electronics and Microcontrollers, Introduction to Engineering Mathematics, Algorithms and Numerical Mathematics, and Electronic Design Project. The second year advances into Electronic Circuit and Systems Design, Machine Learning, Communications Theory, Embedded Systems Project, Microprocessors and Programmable Logic, and IoT and Edge Computing. The third year builds core competence with Control Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Audio Signal Processing, Individual Engineering Project, Digital Media Engineering, and Professional Studies. The fourth year features advanced modules such as Autonomous search-and-rescue robot, 4G mobile system simulation, Aviation flight tracking receiver, Quadrocopter surveillance drone, Walking School Bus, Modern Industry Practice, Team Engineering Project, Digital Signal Processing, FPGA Design for System-on-Chip, Control Systems Design, Embedded Microprocessor System Design, and Medical Electronics and E-Health.
