Computer Systems Engineering

About this course

Computer systems engineering sits at the boundary between software and hardware, concerned with designing systems in which the two work together effectively. Where computer science focuses primarily on algorithms and software, and electronic engineering focuses on circuits and devices, computer systems engineering addresses the integration of both: how processors are designed and programmed, how embedded systems are built for specific applications, how networks carry data reliably and how complex systems are controlled and coordinated. The discipline is central to robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation and a wide range of defence and aerospace applications. At the University of Sheffield, the four-year full-time MEng programme provides rigorous training in the core fields of computer systems: mathematics, control theory, embedded systems and program
