digital design, hardware circuit design, programming in c and other languages –the bachelor of engineering in electronics and computer engineering teaches students skills that are at a premium. and that includes the soft skills too: harnessing students' imagination, working as a team, dealing with open-ended questions.

practical experience is the spine of this course. all of the university of sheffield's 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 the university's industry partners, and get the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long sheffield industrial project scheme.
