MEng/BEng in Electronics and Software Engineering

Electronics and Software Engineering is a degree course run by the School of Engineering and Electronics and the School of Informatics. The course focuses on electronic design as well as software skills - the basis of many modern electronic devices. The course integrates the two disciplines such that the most relevant material from each is covered to result in a well rounded course that teaches Engineering principles and practice.

For many years engineers have used software tools to develop the increasingly complex hardware that has become a common part of everyday life. The design of much electronic equipment is now so complex that to provide all of the functionality in hardware is impractical. The solution is to design a product as an intimate mix of hardware and software components. This requires engineers who are equally familiar with these components and the tools needed to combine them into the solutions that will satisfy the needs of tomorrow's world.

This course, like other MEng and BEng degree courses in Electronics, has a common structure in the early years with the core subjects of Mathematics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In the later years of the course specialist subjects are taught including Digital System Design, Large Scale Integrated Circuits, Computer Networking, Software Engineering to name but a few.
