MEng Electronic Engineering
About this course
MEng in Electronic Engineering, an Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree focused on the theory, design and application of modern electronic systems. Core topics include Programming, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Entrepreneurship. The programme is delivered as part of the South Coast Institute of Technology partnership. The first year covers core foundations through Analogue and Digital Electronics, Applied Mathematics, Electronics Principles, Manufacturing Principles, Microprocessor Systems, and Professional Engineering Skills. The second year progresses through Applied Mathematics for Electronics, Automation and Control Systems, Competition and Contracts in Engineering, Data Communications and Networks, Electronic Circuits, and Embedded Systems. The third year involves Digital Signal Processing, Electronic Circuit Design, Radio Systems, and an independent Project, alongside optional study in Business Strategy or Entrepreneurship. The final year comprises advanced compulsory modules such as Advanced Automation and Control, Advanced Digital Signal Processing, Advanced Electronics Design, Autonomous Vehicles, and an Interdisciplinary Group Project, with further optional modules including Computer Aided Modelling and Simulation, Mechatronics, and Sustainability.
