Course Information

Computers are all-pervasive.  Almost every aspect of daily life depends on highly sophisticated computing systems.

With continuing advances in technology, high user expectations and increasing statutory requirements, there is a high-demand for skilled engineers in electronic computing. 

Unlike pure computing degrees which often concentrate on the software, scientific and mathematical aspects of computing, this course will provide you with a wider range of engineering skills, including in hardware and applications of computing to electronic systems. The course draws from the expertise of the Intelligent Systems and Nano-science Research Group at York.

Our MEng will cement your knowledge of fundamental principles and introduce you to advanced concepts. You'll experience a large team software engineering project, as well as managing a substantial individual project, allowing you to develop the knowledge and skills required to become a leader in the industry. With an increased choice of advanced option modules, you'll have the opportunity to engage with world-class researchers and work with our latest innovative technology.

Year 1

Year 1 provides you with a grounding in electronic principles, circuits, components and devices. There's a strong emphasis on mathematics and computing, including learning the C and Python programming languages. You'll also develop your practical skills, designing and building complete products as part of laboratories and group projects.

Core modules

Your modules will cover topics such as:

  • Engineering Design

  • Analogue Electronics and Physics

  • Mathematics

  • Digital Circuits 

  • Introduction to Programming

  • Digital Systems

Year 2

In Year 2 you'll learn to analyse and design hardware and software systems. You'll study material including data structures, algorithms, electromagnetism and Java programming. An advanced construction project gives you the opportunity to apply your skills of design, engineering, problem-solving and project-management.

Core modules

Your modules will cover topics such as:

  • Design, Construction and Test

  • Java Programming

  • Engineering Mathematics, Signals and Systems

  • Noise, Waves and Fields

  • Semiconductor Devices and Circuits

  • Algorithms and Numerical Methods

  • Digital Design with HDL 

Year 3

In Year 3 you'll study a range of advanced core and option modules. You can focus on your interests, or investigate a new aspect of electronic engineering. Throughout the year you'll work on a major individual project, using the knowledge and skills you've developed to research and design a solution to an engineering challenge.

Core modules

Your core modules will cover topics such as:

  • Control

  • Communication Systems

  • Applications of EM

  • Principles of DSP

Year 4

Core modules

Your core modules will cover topics such as:

  • Biologically Inspired Computation

  • Systems Programming for ARM

You'll also complete your MEng Individual Project.

You'll work individually on a major project which will develop your capacity to think independently and creatively about a specific area of electronic engineering. You'll develop advanced skills in problem-solving, critical evaluation and writing concise technical reports. You'll also be able to present and defend your work. Projects from previous years have included:

  • It’s a boat! It’s a plane! It’s a hovercraft!

  • transparent mapping of tasks to many-core hardware through runtime disambiguation of function arguments

  • the automated detection of high-stake deception via speech analysis using machine learning

  • automatic building mapping drone

Option modules

Option modules may include:

  • Advanced Control

  • Electronics for Medicine

  • Robotics

  • Wired, Wireless and Optical Transmission

  • Ideation

  • Strategic Management

  • Physical Modelling Synthesis

  • Integrated Circuit Design and Simulation
