Intelligent Systems and Control Engineering BEng at University of Sheffield

This three-year BEng will develop your skills in designing intelligent systems and using control systems.

Modules are informed by our world-leading research and designed with input from our industry partners, so you'll have the best start for your career. You'll use industry-standard equipment and learn about state-of-the-art applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.

Our courses share a common first year. You'll study subjects that are fundamental to intelligent systems such as mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems.

In the first year, you'll learn how to control robotic systems and you will work as part of a team to design, analyse and test robots, autonomous vehicles and other complex electro-mechanical systems.

In your second year, core modules cover subjects that are integral to intelligent systems, such as mathematics and data modelling, control system design and analysis, and programming (C++).

You'll apply your skills to a practical project, where you'll design a system using 3D CAD tools. You'll then build the system in our iForge makerspace. This innovative facility gives you access to 3D printers, laser cutters and more.

In your final year, specialist modules cover topics ranging from intelligent systems and digital signal processing to rapid control prototyping and system identification. You can tailor your degree to suit your interests with optional modules.

The highlight of your final year is an individual project where you'll develop your expertise in a range of engineering techniques and other skills that maximise your employability such as project management and communication.

Other options for you:

• Subject to achieving a satisfactory performance you can transfer from the BEng to the MEng degree at the end of the second year.
• You can choose to study a year abroad.
• You can also switch onto the Year in Industry version of this degree.
