Overview
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.
