Systems Engineering Beng (Hon)

If you are curious about how things work and have a keen mind for applying what you learn to solve real-world problems, engineering is the perfect career for you. In this degree you will study principles from across a range of Engineering disciplines and interactions between systems, enabling you to work at the boundaries of complex problems.<br/><br/>This course is accredited by the IET, and IMechE and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website.<br/><br/>Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach that enables the realisation of complex systems. Many complex engineering products (such as aerospace and automotive) involve a high level of integration and interaction across the mechanical, electronic and software domains. Systems Engineers analyse and design the behaviour of these systems including active and intelligent software, which allows systems to detect and respond to changes.<br/><br/>A Systems Engineer needs to understand the broader context of a system including people, processes, and information flow.<br/><br/>Recent projects include the creating of a gesture detection system which recognises British sign language, and developing a systems model of iron storage in brain disease.
