The Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering courses provide an excellent platform for graduates wishing to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer or to progress to Chartered Engineer status, while the transferable skills which graduates develop should also suit them to employment and career routes in a wide variety of professions. Our IET accredited Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering BEng (Hons) degree provides a balanced, theoretical and practical introduction to fundamental engineering principles and their application to real industrial projects. Our Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering BEng (Hons) degree teaches you to combine digital electronics, microprocessors and software to develop and enable the potential of embedded computer systems. With that in mind, what does an Electronic and Computing Systems Engineer actually do? They define the hardware, firmware, and software that enable and are implemented within the computer systems. Embedded systems are found in mobile phones, games consoles, car engine management systems, traffic lights, and wireless routers, to name but a few. Unlike PCs and traditional desktop computers that are designed for multiple tasks, embedded computer systems will often have a dedicated function or purpose within a larger electromechanical system. They will often be small, rugged, low power. They will use microprocessors and microcontrollers, and link to sensors and sensor systems. Lecture based modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and formal examinations taken at the end of each semester. Project module assessments require written reports and technical presentations, preparing you for your subsequent career. The proportion of coursework assessment is approximately 30% to 50% depending on degree course, semester/year and optional modules. Your time at Loughborough University will form a launchpad from which you can build an exciting career. With so many opportunities available, you’ll never be short of ways to improve your employability.
