Why Electronic Engineering?
The electronics industry is global and makes a huge contribution to the economy. It is a crucial subject in a wide range of industries and is at the heart of everything from manufacturing processes, to the provision of services, green technologies and logistics management to name a few. These industries are looking to the future of engineering, and this is where you could come in.
The Course
This one-year top-up course aims for you to continue your studies and interest in technology and how technology can be applied and managed. We cover a broad range of topics, for example, embedded computer-based systems, communications and control as well as electronic, digital and analogue systems and youll be taught by academics who are also professional engineers, many of whom have years of industry experience.
You will work on a selected individual research/design project with the support of your academic supervisor. It is possible to align this with one of the Master's team projects. These involve the design, build and friendly competitive testing of either a road, airborne or rail vehicle, for example, Team HARE, Team Hawk or HudRail.
