Take a quantum leap – become an engineer in electronics
The world relies on the ingenuity of electronics engineers. who can innovate, collaborate and make their mark on the world. With a degree in Electronics Engineering from SDU you can switch on your potential.
First-job guarantee
As a new engineering graduate from SDU Sønderborg, you are offered 6 months of employment if you haven’t landed your first job after you finished your MSc studies.
What will you learn?
You will learn to develop different types of electronic products. This can, e.g., be within green energy systems such as wind turbines and solar cells, robots, electric cars or electronics for medical equipment.
You will
- learn about analogue, digital and power electronics as well as signal processing
- learn how to develop advanced software and how to use computer-based modelling and simulation tools for electronic components and circuits
- be taught that the design of electronic circuits requires strong skills in advanced mathematics and a good understanding of the underlying physics
- learn to consider not only the technical aspects – a broader approach is needed when developing new electronic products
- learn to include all relevant aspects such as economy and the environment when developing new products
- work in project groups, where you and your fellow students will solve problems for companies through case-based work
- learn how to apply the theoretical knowledge in practice as well as how to work on a project incl. project planning, risk assessment, teamwork etc.
How is the education structured?
The programme consists of a combination of theoretical courses and practical project work in groups. Each semester consists of a main theme, which is the basis for the theory and project work.
- In the first semester, you are introduced to basic electronic components and how to analyse electronic circuits. You learn how to write a program for an embedded computer system, and you build up your knowledge in mathematics and physics.
- In the second semester, you will learn about more advanced electronic circuits with active components, signal processing using electronic filters as well as more advanced mathematical tools for circuit analysis.
- In the third semester, you will build on your knowledge of electronics and work with more complex electronic systems such as frequency converters and electric motors as well as learning the basics of control engineering.
- In the fourth semester, you will primarily work with digital electronics and with advanced hardware and software which, e.g., is used in digital signal processing or within advanced control engineering systems.
- The fifth semester is about interdisciplinary collaboration where you work in a project group with students from other engineering disciplines, and where you will combine your electronics expertise with their expertise within, e.g., mechanical engineering to develop a complex product. You can also choose to study this semester abroad.
- In the sixth semester, while you write your bachelor project, you can specialise further by taking elective courses.
What can you become?
With a Bachelor's degree in Electronics, it is possible to continue your studies with a Master's degree in Electronics. As a graduate (Master of Science) in Electronics, you will typically work in development, project management, consulting or sales. You can, for example, work with electronics for sustainable energy technology or for medical equipment, computers and data networks, software development, robot and drone technology and many other types of products that are based on advanced electronics. The programme gives you several career opportunities - both in Denmark and abroad.
Can you continue your studies?
The bachelor's programme lasts three years, after which you take the two-year master's programme to achieve a Master’s degree in Electronics. A Bachelor in Electronics will therefore often continue the programme with a relevant master's degree in, for example, Electronics in Sønderborg.
Programme structure
This is a three-year bachelor programme on top of which you can study a two-year master programme. The programme is taught in English.
During the semester projects you will be working with the following themes:
- Discover the Electronic Development Process
- Build Industrial Electronics
- Develop Intelligent Dynamic Electronic Systems
- Design of Embedded Architectures
- Experts in Teams
- Bachelor Project and further specialization
First semester:
In the first semester you will gain a first insight into what electronics is and what it takes to develop electronic products. You will work with subjects such as embedded systems, basic analog electronics and the corresponding math and physics. With your project group you will design and construct a small electronic product taking you through the entire development process.
Second semester:
This is where you will work with more advanced electronic systems including amplifiers and circuits for analog signal processing as well as more advanced embedded systems. You will gain knowledge about system components and their interactions. As part of the semester project you will work with electronic circuits, analogue-to-digital conversion and a microcontroller system.
Third semester:
In this semester you will build on the knowledge you have gained about electronics and will be given insight into the use of electric motors and development of control systems and thereby the development of dynamic electronic systems. In the semester project, you will develop an electronic system – that can for example control the speed of an electric motor by integrating electronics and software solutions into a complete system.
Fourth semester:
In the fourth semester you will work with advanced embedded systems. This includes more control engineering and digital signal processing in theory and practice. You will learn how to design embedded architectures in hardware (digital systems) and how to test and implement them in state of the art technologies (System on Chips). In the semester project you will develop a digital system with signal processing algorithm’s, in a context with external components for inputs and outputs – thereby sensing external data and controlling external devices.
Fifth semester:
This semester is about innovation, multidisciplinary skills and entrepreneurship (Experts in Teams). You and your project group will organize yourselves into a virtual company where you will go through all development phases from idea to creation of a fully functioning prototype - taking into consideration economy, external suppliers, etc. You will continue with further specialization elective courses. You can also choose to study abroad for a semester.
Sixth semester:
Here you will write your bachelor project in which you bring together all your knowledge and skills from the preceding semesters. The semester includes further specialization via a theory course in Applied Electro Magnetics and two elective courses.
What does the programme lead to?
Electronics and computer engineers are, for example, qualified to develop mobile phones, robots and surveillance systems.
Graduates will have competencies in fields characterised by rapid technological change – and have great impact on the development of society. You are qualified for work in the private as well as in the public sector.
Generally speaking, electronics engineers work with development, project engineering, counsultancy, sales and management.
You could work in, for example:
- Medical equipment
- Computers and data network
- Telecommunication: mobile phones, TV, radio, etc.
- Energy technology (wind turbines, solar cells, batteries)
- Electrical devices and appliances: From measurement equipment to power plants
- Robots and drones
- Software development
- Control and automation of production processes
- Industrial electronics.
