Programme Specification for Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering (Major only)
Campus: Docklands
Why Study Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
Here at UEL, we recognise that new technology is no longer defined by distinct rigid boundaries and that engineers currently required in industry as specialists in this field, must also have the ability to apply their design capability to products requiring multi-technological interfacing. This programme aims to fulfil all of the criteria required by industry by providing a solid general electronic engineering knowledge in addition to the highly specialist training scheme in Digital and Embedded Systems.
Supported by World leading companies on the cutting edge of technology, this programme ascertains that students are exposed from the outset to the tools, technology and requirements essential for a successful and rewarding career in industry.
What will I study?
Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering is a specialist field, which focuses on electronic design associated with digital logic circuits, microprocessors and microcontrollers, usually embedded into an application. Such embedded systems can be found all around us in mobile phones, Wi-Fi systems, bluetooth head-sets, GPS devices, TVs, tablets, e-Book readers, computers and almost every available electronic system.
This programme is specifically designed to provide a solid grounding in electronic engineering knowledge in addition to the emphasis placed on developing specialist skills in digital and embedded processing systems.
Which modules will I study?
You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Single & Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering.
Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?
All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).
What career opportunities are open to me if I study Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering?
Embedded systems design is now a major part of electronic engineering and is seen as the driving force behind most future developments. After successfully completing your programme, you will be well placed to take advantage of the many opportunities in this field. There is a large demand for embedded systems design engineers and integrated circuit (IC) design specialists. Although on graduation you will be a specialist in this area, you will also have a solid general electronic engineering knowledge to be able to diversify into other areas of work, not only within the UK but also in the European and global market should you wish to.
Following your first couple of years of industrial work, you will find yourself with many more opportunities available to you due to this experience. These will only improve as you acquire more knowledge and experience in industry not only within the UK but also in the European and global market.
What Can I Combine with Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering?
We offer over 5000 combinations and you can choose from over 75 pathways. Please visit this page http://www.uel.ac.uk/combined/programmes/ for a full list.
