Technicians are required to complete two years of specialised education, leading to a Higher Certificate in Electronic and Information Engineering. You'll be introduced to the fundamentals of electronics, computers, networking, data, and software systems. You will learn about capturing data, using data to control systems, information communications systems, as well as network engineering and programming.<br><br>In Year 2, working on a hands-on project and solving a real engineering problem, will help you to develop strong design and practical skills. Finding solutions to problems is a major part of any engineering job. At the end of the programme, you'll understand the operation of computer based systems and be ready to work at technician level in an advanced and modern industry or stay on to achieve further academic awards. A typical week consists of 24 contact hours. You'll spend around 60% of this time working with advanced equipment and software development systems in our laboratories. And you'll work with lecturers on real problems from industry, allowing you to develop professional engineering skills.
