They're all examples of technology which have been developed combining skills from both Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. These subjects have become increasingly intertwined in recent years, so there's a need for engineers with the ability to create and embed intelligence into the products and systems of the future. Engineers with operational and technical expertise in both electronics and software engineering are needed to design the next generation of computer apps, interactive vehicle robotic agents that monitor driver information and respond accordingly, or digital cinema technology. This degree is designed to produce these skilled professional engineers. This is one of the few UK degrees with triple accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology , British Computer Society and the Science Council . You’ll learn the fundamental principles and concepts in electronic engineering, mathematics and computer science classes. You’ll build upon this base while being introduced to programming languages and techniques, computer communications and hardware and software engineering systems. You’ll choose specialist topics to match your career aspirations. Topics include multimedia information, embedded systems, AI techniques, e-commerce and computer security. Students have exclusive access to our extensive computing network, and purpose-built teaching spaces
