Digital design, hardware circuit design, programming in C and other languages – this course teaches you skills that are at a premium. And that includes the soft skills too: harnessing your imagination, working as a team, dealing with open-ended questions.Practical experience is the spine of this course. All our first-year students take part in the faculty's Global Engineering Challenge, working with students from other engineering disciplines to solve a real-world problem. All second year students get to work on a week-long project, Engineering You’re Hired, devised by one of our industry partners, and get the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long Sheffield Industrial Project Scheme.The third year will see you focus on more advanced topics, such as digital signal processing, VLSI design, hardware description languages and operating systems. And you'll carry out your own design project, supervised by an academic.If you take our three year BEng, you will need to complete some further learning to satisfy the requirements to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.
Why study this course?-
UK top 5 for electrical and electronic engineering- as rated by The Guardian University Guide, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.-
Industrial placement year- you have the option to either study abroad for a year or spend a year working in industry, gaining real-world experience and connections. Links with partners such as Arm, Siemens Gamesa and Rolls-Royce make Sheffield the right choice if you want to do a placement year – and mean we have world-famous companies joining us on campus for employability fairs and networking sessions.-
Specialist teaching facilities- 'Learning by doing' is the reason The Diamond was built. Dedicated to engineering, this state-of-the-art electronics laboratory and semiconductor cleanroom is where you’ll apply the theory you learn in lectures – consolidating your understanding alongside students from other disciplines, and beyond the bounds of the curriculum.-
Go on to great things- because we focus on developing employability right from the start, 97.3% of our students go onto graduate-level work or further study within 15 months of graduating (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020/21).-
World-leading researchers- our academics tackle major scientific and technological challenges that have a positive impact on the world, ranging from improving the flow of data via wireless communications, renewable energy production and storage, to improved efficiency and accuracy of manufacturing and the electrification of transport. Their research, which has been rated as internationally excellent, is what informs the content of your course.
