A skills shortage in the electronic engineering industry means that this course offers you the chance to acquire valuable expertise and establish yourself in a highly rewarding career. You will use your existing engineering background, digital signal processing and embedded programming skills on a course that is structured to allow you to explore advanced computer and electronic engineering techniques. You will then be able to apply these techniques to solve real-world engineering problems and develop your communication and team-working skills. This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

This course gives you skills that are valuable for a career within Computer Science but it is also relevant for a much wider range of applications. The final year unit ‘Social and Professional Project Management’ in particular requires you to work in a team so as to apply current project management methodology that embraces these knowledge areas in an integrated way while going through the stages of planning, execution and project control. You will work as part of a team, take responsibility and make autonomous decisions that impact on the project team performance.
