The year 1 and 2 modules are similar across all our Electronic Engineering courses and provide a grounding in essential engineering topics.<\/p>\n
In years 3 and 4 youll specialise in AI, and can follow your interests by choosing modules from a wide range of options. You can also take modules from other subject areas.<\/p>\n
Youll work in high-spec electronics and computer labs, equipped with the latest technology, hardware and software.<\/p>\n
In the first year, youll study digital systems, and electrical materials and fields. There are core modules in:<\/p>\n
mathematics<\/p>\n
physics<\/p>\n
electronics<\/p>\n
programming<\/p>\n
We'll develop your practical skills with extensive laboratory classes. In your first semester youll get to build processing boards.<\/p>\n
Compulsory modules will explore:<\/p>\n
electrical materials<\/p>\n
circuitry<\/p>\n
programming<\/p>\n
electronic design<\/p>\n
You'll choose from optional modules, covering topics such as:<\/p>\n
photonics<\/p>\n
semiconductors<\/p>\n
computer engineering<\/p>\n
At the end of the year, you'll complete a 3-week team challenge, judged by an industry panel. Previous projects include the development of a home AI system and building a quadcopter.<\/p>\n
Youll complete a unique piece of individual research in an AI topic of your choice. This will typically involve designing, building and testing a new electronic system. Past students have designed a traffic counting system using computer vision, and explored security for smart home systems.<\/p>\n
You'll study the foundations of machine learning, and select specialised optional modules such as:<\/p>\n
robotic systems<\/p>\n
computational biology<\/p>\n
cyber security<\/p>\n
green electronics<\/p>\n
You can also choose to:<\/p>\n
The main group design project is a great opportunity to experience working for an industry or academic customer. Past projects have involved:<\/p>\n
Youll also select from optional modules covering topics, such as:<\/p>\n
machine Learning<\/p>\n
data mining<\/p>\n
computer vision<\/p>\n
You can apply to spend the second semester studying abroad at a partner institution.<\/p>\n
