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.
