Programme summary for BEng Digital and Embedded Systems Engineering
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.
About the programme
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.
Programme structure
Study is based on three years full-time. The programme is modular and is based on core studies spanning sixteen modules, including Software Engineering & Microprocessors, Digital Signal Processing, System Modelling & Simulation and Integrated Systems Design.
Career opportunities
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.
