Computer Systems Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University of Sheffield

**Combine theory and hands-on practice across electrical and electronic engineering, covering power systems, electronics, circuits, machines and drives. Build your skills through individual projects in Year 3 and a research-focused group project in Year 4.****Discover the technology that powers modern life with an integrated master’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering. From semiconductor chips and electric motors to smartphones and electric vehicles, this discipline underpins the systems that keep the world moving.**Informed by world-leading research and designed with input from industry partners, this four-year course gives you advanced technical expertise and hands-on experience, preparing you for a successful career in engineering and beyond.You will learn through lectures, labs, tutorials and projects, many of which take place in The Diamond building – our cutting-edge teaching facility. You’ll also gain practical skills using industry standard equipment in our Electronics and Control Lab, Teaching Cleanroom and Computer Labs.In Year 1, you will build a strong foundation in systems modelling, computing, circuits, and analogue and digital electronics, alongside teamwork and project skills.In Year 2, you will explore design projects, communications, embedded systems and circuits, with options in energy conversion and hardware/software design.In Year 3, you can tailor your degree by specialising in one of four specialisations:Electrical and Electronic Engineering (eg power electronics, energy systems, semiconductor electronics and devices)Electrical Engineering (eg electromechanical machines, control systems, energy systems)Electronic Engineering (eg semiconductor devices, integrated electronic and semiconductor systems, digital signal processing)Communications (eg wireless communications systems, digital signal processing, integrated electronics)In Year 4, you'll deepen your expertise through an advanced group project and further study in your chosen specialisation, developing the skills and insight to tackle complex engineering challenges.Our graduates are highly sought after by leading companies such as ARM, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, National Grid, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems, as well as global consultancies and innovative start-ups.****Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).****Why study this course?**- Shape the future: Electronic and electrical engineering lies at the heart of many of the technologies that will shape the future. This programme will enable you to make a positive contribution to many global challenges, including green energy, AI, healthcare, cybersecurity and electric transport.- Study with experts: You will learn from academic staff who are involved in world-class research with our industrial partners. Their research informs our teaching.- Do engineering through project work: As well as learning about engineering, you will also do engineering by completing various projects. For your final year project you may be embedded within a research group or use the facilities in our bespoke project labs or the iForge Makerspace.- Specialist teaching laboratories: The Diamond building is dedicated to teaching engineering students practical skills. It contains large, modern labs where you can apply the theoretical material delivered in lectures to real-world applications. It's staffed by a team of technical and academic staff who are dedicated to teaching practical skills. The building also contains over 1,000 individual study spaces.- Exciting careers: The specialist and generic skills that you acquire will enable exciting well-paid global career opportunities in industry, commerce, research and beyond.
