Overview

What is Electronic and Computer Engineering?

Organising both hardware (electronic) and software (computer) components into a useful and productive system is the principal job of the electronic and computer engineer. With a unique combination of both skill-sets, such an engineer is trained to lead product design that requires both critical hardware and software expertise. The fundamental skillset of an Engineer in this specialty is a capacity to apply mathematical analysis to design problems and the ability to exploit and adapt software workflows.

Key Facts

There is a wide spectrum of careers open to graduates of the Electronic and Computer Engineering programme of Trinity College Dublin. You could be developing reconfigurable hardware for high-speed Artificial Intelligence calculations in the cloud or algorithms for driverless cars. There are also opportunities in business and financial management where the analytic and problem-solving skills of electronic and computer engineers have long been appreciated. Companies employing Electronic and Computer Engineering graduates include Google, Intel, Movidius and Accenture.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

You will be given how analogue and digital electronic circuits work, delve into how information is coded and transmitted across noisy channels (such as the radio links used in mobile phone networks and satellite communication) and learn how these complex channels can be crafted into worldwide networks, such as the Internet – on which we all depend.

On the computing side, you will learn how the analogue and digital circuits combine to form complex processors (CPUs), how these are programmed at machine level (assembly language) and how operating systems (such as Linux and Windows) make the machine capabilities accessible for high level application programmers.
