Program Overview

Introduction to the Computer and Internet Engineering Programmes

The Computer and Internet Engineering programmes are offered within the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. These programmes bring benefits to society in diverse sectors such as AI, machine learning, mobile and satellite communications, Internet of Things, space and satellite engineering, and renewable energy.

Course Information

The University of Surrey offers several Electronic Engineering Programmes at the undergraduate level, including:

• Computer and Internet Engineering
• Astronautics and Space Engineering These degrees can be taken at either BEng (Hons) or MEng level. The programmes are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing students to change courses up to the end of the first year.

Programme Structure

The academic year is split into two semesters: October-January and February-June, with coursework throughout the year and examinations at the end of each semester. In the first year, learning activities range from whole-class lectures to individual laboratory practicals and small group tutorials.

First-Year Modules

The following modules are taken in the first year:

Semester 1

• ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS (EEE1025)
• COMPUTER AND DIGITAL LOGIC (EEE1033)
• ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS (MAT1044)
• LABORATORIES, DESIGN & PROFESSIONAL STUDIES I (EEE1027)

Semester 2

• ELECTRICAL SCIENCE I (EEE1034)
• PROGRAMMING IN C (EEE1035)
• MATHEMATICS II: ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS (EEE1032)
• LABORATORIES, DESIGN & PROFESSIONAL STUDIES II (EEE1028)

Academic Support

The Maths Support Framework is a dedicated resource to support new Year 1 students in all engineering disciplines, covering a wide range of topics. Students will have the opportunity to identify areas of maths that need revision before arriving at Surrey.

Student Life

The university offers various student societies, including the Electronics and Amateur Radio Society, Women in Engineering Society, and HackSurrey. These societies provide opportunities for students to get involved in activities and explore their interests.

Professional Bodies

Electronic engineers are supported by several professional bodies, including:

• The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
• The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) These organisations provide information on diverse career pathways in electronics and offer student membership opportunities.

Resources

Each module descriptor includes a list of required and recommended resources. All required resources are available electronically and/or physically through the University Library. Students are advised to wait until they have started their studies before purchasing textbooks, and to discuss this with the relevant module leaders.
