Computer Systems Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year Beng (Hon)

Study in Sheffield for the first two years of your course learning about the fields that are essential to computer systems, including mathematics, control systems, embedded systems and programming. In your third year you will have the opportunity to put into practice what you’ve learnt by working for a year in an engineering placement before returning to Sheffield for your final year studying modules in specialist areas such as system design and security and intelligent systems.<br/><br/>**Launch your career as an engineer or programmer with this BEng course in Computer Systems Engineering that brings together design, robotics and programming with the opportunity for a career-boosting year-long industrial placement.**<br/><br/>Informed by our world-leading research and designed in collaboration with our industry partners, this degree programme 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. You’ll also use industry standard equipment to learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.<br/><br/>Year one provides a solid foundation in the theory of complex electro-mechanical systems and a fundamental understanding of mathematics and computing, with a focus on controlling robotic systems. Youll have the opportunity to design and analyse complex electro-mechanical systems as part of a team.<br/><br/>In year two, core modules such as programming (including C++, Python and Java), mathematics and data modelling will lead into a practical project. You’ll design a system using 3D CAD tools, and build your designs in our iForge Makerspace.<br/><br/>You will put your academic study into context, as you gain work experience and improve your employability prospects with one of our industry partners. You will take responsibility for sourcing your industrial placement, with plenty of advice and support from our dedicated Engineering Placement Team.<br/><br/>Your final year 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/>**This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institute of Measurement and Control and the Engineering Council UK.**<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- Go on to great things: 90% of graduates from our course are in work or further education 15 months after finishing. 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/>- Advanced, hands-on experience: Practical experience of computer software and hardware during your industrial placement with companies such as ARM, Siemens and Boeing, along with access to 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/>
