Overview:

The BEng (Hons) Computer Science and Electronic Engineering combines two complementary areas of technology: the development of software and computational systems alongside the design and operation of electronic technologies. At the University of Liverpool, the course provides an integrated understanding of how digital technologies are created, controlled, and applied to complex engineering problems.

What You'll Learn:

• Fundamental principles of programming, computer science, and electronic engineering.

• Digital electronics, computer architecture, and the organisation of computer-based systems.

• Software development and engineering methods for creating structured and dependable applications.

• Artificial intelligence concepts, including neural networks and computational approaches.

• Signal processing, digital filtering, optimisation, and digital control techniques.

• Digital system design and methods for connecting computing technologies with electronic systems.

• Cloud computing and distributed approaches to computing.

• Formal methods and computational techniques for analysing and developing complex systems.

• Engineering management, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and technical project planning.

• A substantial individual project that brings together knowledge and skills from computing and electronic engineering.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion, students will be able to analyse computing and electronic engineering problems using appropriate mathematical, computational, and engineering principles. They will be able to design and implement software and digital systems, assess different technical approaches, and apply suitable methods to test and refine their solutions. Students will also understand how hardware and software interact within modern technological systems and be able to consider factors such as efficiency, reliability, and system performance. The course develops the ability to undertake independent technical investigation, manage a substantial project, interpret complex information, and communicate findings effectively. Students will therefore gain an interdisciplinary foundation for understanding and developing integrated computing and electronic technologies.
