**Learn about the fields that are essential to computer systems, including mathematics, control systems, embedded systems and programming. Then go on to applied work that brings the concepts together in a practical way, and continue to study advanced modules in specialist areas such as system design and security and intelligent systems.**<br/><br/>**Bringing together design, robotics and computer programming, this three-year BEng in Computer Systems Engineering is perfect for aspiring engineers.**<br/><br/>Informed by our world-leading research and designed in collaboration with our industry partners, this course gives you the best start to your career.<br/><br/>You’ll complement engineering skills in computer software and hardware with a deep understanding of systems design. Youll also use industry-standard equipment to learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.<br/><br/>The first year gives you solid grounding in theory, with a focus on how to control robotic systems, and opportunities to design and analyse complex electro-mechanical systems as part of a team.<br/><br/>In your second year, core modules such as programming (including C++, Python and Java), mathematics and data modelling lead into a practical project – designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building your designs in our iForge Makerspace.<br/><br/>Year three will see you combining specialist modules, like intelligent systems and cybersecurity, with a massive range of optional modules, chosen according to your personal passion and career aspirations.<br/><br/>This all builds to an advanced project, where you’ll work one-on-one with an academic – deepening your technical knowledge and developing your expertise in a range of engineering techniques.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Go on to great things** - 92% of graduates from the department are in work or further education 15 months after completing their course. Sheffield-trained engineers are now working for companies including Rolls-Royce, Siemens and Airbus.<br/><br/><br/>- **Integrated and holistic content** - from foundations in programming, robotics and automation to advanced topics such as deep learning and multi-agent systems.<br/><br/><br/>- **Expert academic staff** - learn from people with research experience in the robotics industry and who specialise in programming, intelligent systems and cybersecurity.<br/><br/><br/>- **Hands-on experience** - access industry standard facilities including 3D CAD tools, 3D printers and advanced manufacturing technologies.<br/><br/><br/>- **Get noticed by future employers** - study modules designed with our industry partners – spanning topics such as embedded systems and artificial intelligence, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/><br/><br/>**This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institute of Measurement and Control and the Engineering Council UK.**
