About this course
The MEng (Hons) in Computer and Electronic Engineering is an undergraduate degree in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering subject area, focusing on the combination of digital electronics, microprocessors, and software. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Accounting, Engineering Design, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The course meets the educational requirements for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer. The first year covers mathematical methods, circuit analysis, electrical engineering, software programming, digital systems, and applied engineering. The second year progresses to advanced mathematics, electronics, embedded systems programming, computer architecture, telecommunications engineering, and project design and management. Third-year compulsory modules include engineering systems and management alongside an individual project, with options such as embedded software design and implementation, state control systems, wireless communications, electronic systems design, computer networks and security, and machine learning for IoT systems. The final year includes advanced embedded computer architecture and parallel programming as a compulsory element, alongside optional choices such as an engineering research challenge team project, an industry-based engineering team project, consultancy and professional practice, industry 5.0 and robotic challenges, advanced digital and IoT communication technologies, advanced methods for control, acoustic signal processing, antennas, radar and metamaterials, statistical methods and machine learning, and industrial machine vision with AI.
