Electronic Engineering (Including Foundation Year) Beng (Hon)

Our BEng Electronic Engineering (including Foundation Year) could be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entry requirements for a three-year version of our computer science, electronic engineering and mathematics courses and you want a programme that improves your skills to support your academic performance.<br/><br/>Open to UK and EU applicants, this four-year course includes a Foundation Year (known as Year Zero) which is delivered by our Essex Pathways Department followed by a further three years of study in our School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.<br/><br/>During Year Zero you will study on our Computer Science, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics Pathway which will cover topics such as statistical analysis and modelling, and computer programming. At the end of Year Zero all students who pass the Computer Science, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics Pathway will have a choice of which course to progress with. As well as BEng Electronic Engineering, students on the Computer Science, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics Pathway could also study BSc Computer Science, BSc Mathematics or BSc Computer Games.<br/><br/>From Year One of the BEng Electronic Engineering, you will cover a wide spectrum of topics to help you become an electronics designer:<br/><br/><br/>- mathematical skills and software tools for problem-solving in engineering<br/><br/><br/>- Wireless Communication technology<br/><br/><br/>- the building blocks of complex digital systems<br/><br/><br/>- analogue systems and circuit techniques<br/><br/><br/>- computer simulations<br/><br/><br/>Our School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Todays electronic engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. We are home to many of the worlds top engineers, and our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.<br/><br/>You graduate as a creative, experimental, and focused engineer ready to explore further how electronics can impact the people and world around you.<br/><br/>**Programming at Essex**<br/>Teaching someone to programme is about opening a door. In Year One, you will be introduced to programming using C. We assess your ability to think in a programmatic way during the first week of term, and if you need additional support we offer classes to boost your programming skills and confidence.
