The Electronic Engineering curriculum is designed to prepare students for a career in the all-pervasive discipline of electronic information handling, from the analogue to the digital world. Electronics are everywhere from mobile phones and electric vehicles to the underpinning of the Internet; Electronics is a vast subject encompassing many diverse fields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, telecommunications, power engineering, electromagnetics, computers, control systems, and signal processing.
The Computer Engineering curriculum at UKZN is designed to prepare students for a career in the exciting, fast evolving field of computer engineering. Professionals in this discipline will be at the forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The vision of the future is that of advanced fixed and mobile computing systems driving the digital revolution with unprecedented processing, storage, and networking capabilities. Such systems will connect billions of people and will improve their lives through the use of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, autonomous vehicles, virtual assistants and advanced software.
Master of Science in Engineering by research can be undertaken in the various programmes in EECE as follows:
A Doctor of Philosophy programme is offered where students engage in novel research supervised by academic members of staff. This is typically three years of fulltime study and normally follows on from a Master of Science Degree.
