Course Content

The first two years of the programme follow the same modules as computer systems engineering. From the third year you are honed into a C&I Engineer, focusing very much on control theory and practice, and the necessary knowledge of signal processing and systems. 

The fourth year of the degree joins the two advanced topics of Sensors and Control Systems. You will complement this with elements of industrial control in a very real sense with Programmable Logic Controllers. This is accompanied with a Team project. The project usually links to an industry partner and really stretches you to really solve a real-life industry challenge. 

You will spend about 12 hours in lectures and 8 in laboratories each week. You will also have tutorials and have to write up experiments, work on software design and complete numerical problem-solving exercises.

You will have an examination for each module at the end of the semester. Some modules have coursework assessment as well. Your laboratory work books, technical reports and the individual project also contribute to your marks.
