Course descriptionCourse description
The average home contains around 200 embedded computing systems. We use them and rely on them, but what are they? The PC is a computing system, with which we interact through a keyboard, mouse and VDU. As users, we can program the PC and direct it to perform a whole range of applications. In an embedded computing system the microprocessor is integrated into the product and pre-programmed to carry out a dedicated control task.
Engine management systems, MP3 players, mobile phones, audio signal processing and TV remote controls are all examples of embedded computer systems. The Electronic Systems Engineering programme equips you with the knowledge and skills to design such systems.
You also spend a year in industry to develop your business, teamworking and transferable skills, all of which are sought after by graduate employers. Industrial experience will increase your awareness of the broad range of careers on offer and guide your choice of option subjects. Industrial placements can also be accredited by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) towards the training required for attaining Chartered Engineer status.
