Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
Our Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (ECSE) course offers a unique blend of electronics, computer systems, electrical power, and telecommunications engineering.
In addition to the core subjects, you will also learn programming (including Python). Furthermore, ECSE offers a range of minors, including the Artificial Intelligence minor, Internet of Things minor, Semiconductor minor, Intelligent Manufacturing minor, and Electric Vehicle minor.
In the capstone unit, you will design and build a robot to solve a challenging engineering problem by integrating knowledge in electronics, electromechanical systems, and microcontroller programming.
We offer three specialised laboratories, the Internet of Things (IoT) Lab, Intelligent Lighting Lab, and Micro and Nano Devices Lab, to support research and final-year projects.
As an ECSE graduate, you will be well equipped to develop next-generation communication technologies, advanced electronic sensors and devices, and smart solutions to improve areas such as semiconductor, manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare using Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things. You may even contribute to building smart cities powered by intelligent lighting systems and smart grids.
With their diverse skill sets, ECSE graduates work across a wide range of industries, particularly in fast-evolving high-tech sectors. They are highly sought after by multinational companies, with some securing employment even before completing their degrees.
