Overview
Ranked top five in London for Electronic and Electrical Engineering, by the Guardian University Guide 2023 and the Complete University Guide 2024.
BEng Electronic Engineering programme aims to produce graduates that are creative, knowledgeable, have perspective and are professional in their approach. This electronic engineering top-up degree is designed for students qualified to Higher National Diploma (HND) level in the general area of electronic engineering who want to further their educational development to degree level and beyond.
This programme will allow students to develop the knowledge, understanding, cognitive and technical skills to work and research in electronic engineering. The programme focuses on analogue and digital electronics, Signal processing and emerging technologies in electronic engineering. Graduates will be able to design, integrate, and develop technological solutions for the generation of electronic engineering systems. The programme provides a coherent curriculum that develops problem-solving, professional development, and transferable skills required to work in electronic engineering and related industries.
Course content
Compulsory
- Advanced ElectronicsThis module aims to present more advanced concepts, methods and techniques to analyse and design electronic systems for various aspects of applications appropriate to BEng students.
- Individual ProjectThe project aims to provide students with the opportunity to design, execute, report and demonstrate a substantial individual project in a professional manner, and to further develop their communication, planning, time management, research and development skills and initiative.
Optional
- EE3052 - Multimedia Digital Signal ProcessingThis module aims to provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts, and the applications, of digital signal processing in multimedia communication systems with a focus on music, speech and video processing.
- Embedded SystemsThis module aims to illustrate and develop an understanding of the various engineering, scientific and economic tradeoffs necessary in the design and implementation of embedded systems, and to provide familiarity and experience with a range of architectural techniques, design methodologies and their applications and suitability for some embedded systems such as FPGAs.
- Robotics and Control SystemsThis module aims to provide a systematic understanding of analysis and design of linear time-invariant systems using frequency domain and time domain methods for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems.
- Artificial Intelligence SystemsThis module aims to introduce the key concepts of intelligent processing systems and skills required to develop intelligent software applications. Students will gain hands-on experiences through learning, applying and implementing intelligent systems.
- Digital Communication SystemsThis module aims to develop the underlying knowledge and skills appropriate to today’s digital communication systems including introduction to standardised systems.
