Information & Computer Engineering - Teaching
Information and Computer Engineering covers the digital representation and processing of signals and systems. It extends from the theory of signals and systems, through to the manipulation of data via computer programs. In addition to all of the information modules, this Engineering Area includes modules from the Computer Science Tripos (CST).
Third Year
Students intending to qualify in this Engineering Area must include at least six of the modules listed below in their third year.
| Number and title of module | ||
 |
||
| 3F1 | Signals and systems | |
| 3F2 | Systems and control | |
| 3F3 | Signal and pattern processing | |
| 3F4 | Data transmission | |
| 3F5 | Computer and network systems | |
| 3F6 | Software engineering and design | |
| 3I1 | Data structures and algorithms | |
| 3G4 | Medical imaging and 3D computer graphics | |
| 3M1 | Mathematical methods | |
Students specialising in this area whose main interests are signals, control and communications will include 3F1 to 3F5. Those with an interest in computer systems will focus more on 3F4 to 3F6 and will also consider the Computer Science option 3I1. Students with a strong interest in control should also consider the Instrumentation and Control Area as an alternative.
Area activity: Design of a CD player.
Fourth Year
Students intending to qualify in this Engineering Area in the fourth year must include at least four of the modules listed below:
