COURSE CURRICULUM

The BEng Electronic Engineering and Computer Science degree at Aston University provides a comprehensive program that integrates electronics and computing to prepare students for careers in modern technology industries. In the first year, students develop a strong foundation through modules such as Electronics 1 and 2, Introductory Mathematics and Programming for Engineering, Internet Applications and Databases, Foundations of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, an Interdisciplinary Design Project, and Power Skills. These modules introduce key principles of electronic systems, computing, and teamwork. The second year builds on this foundation with more advanced topics including Analogue and Power Electronics, Robot Control, Data Structures, Algorithms and Object-Oriented Programming, Embedded Systems and C, Communication Systems, Digital Design, and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Students also complete an Electronic Engineering Team Project to develop collaborative problem-solving and system design skills. An optional placement year provides valuable industry experience supported by the Careers and Placements team. In the final year, students focus on advanced applications through modules such as Internet of Things, Digital Systems Design, Professional Engineering Practice, and a major Final Year Project. They can also choose optional modules including Digital Signal Processing, Autonomous Robotics and Navigation, Software Testing, Cloud Computing and DevOps, Data Mining, Game Development, or Adaptive and Intelligent Robotic Systems. This structure equips graduates with technical expertise in both hardware and software systems for diverse technology careers.
