collection side of things: I’vedesigned hardware platforms thatconnect sensors and systems thensend that data up to the cloud.

What do you think of theteaching and support available?The lecturing has been brilliant andI’ve learned so much; but if we everdo have a problem, we have courserepresentatives. I was one for thefirst three years. This means that,at the staff-student meetings, youcan voice your opinions – and theyare definitely taken on board.

What about the social life?I made very good friends inFreshers’ Week. There was plentygoing on and, by the end of the firstweek, I already felt that this was myuniversity. Living in Darwin, you have10 people sharing a kitchen, so it’sa great opportunity to be sociable.The Venue is very well run, and thegym is fantastic. All the committeesand groups Kent Union has to offerare great too.

What are your plans for aftergraduation?I’d really like to stay involved with the‘Internet of Things’ – every devicebeing connected to the internet. It’san emerging technology and, interms of data, it has huge potential.

Any advice for future students?Get involved, get to know thelecturers, join societies in your firstyear. Just be proactive and don’tbe afraid to get stuck in.

Joe Richmond Knight isin his final year studyingComputer SystemsEngineering.

What attracted you to Kent, and to this degree course?Kent always scored well in tables,and Canterbury is a lovely placeto study. I fell in love with thecampus on an Open Day. I’d seenuniversities in towns that didn’t feellike one establishment, and at otheruniversities some buildings werea 15-minute walk away and didn’thave that campus feel.

I liked the fact that the course isaccredited by the Institution ofEngineering and Technology, somust adhere to strict standards andstay up to date. Also, if you’ve gotan accredited degree, that’s a hugeemployability bonus. Having theoption to do a work placement wasanother major attraction for me.

My firm choice of course was Kent’sComputer Systems Engineeringprogramme, and my insurance wasthat with a foundation year, whichI ended up doing because I didn’tquite get the grades. I was initiallyconcerned about having to takethe foundation year, due to theadditional time. However, mylecturer explained that people who take it can get quite a bit more in their final grade than those who don’t.

How is your course going?We’ve covered everything from theadvent of electronic computing tocutting-edge technology – you needto know how things were done inorder to understand how they willbe done in the future. It's a moreapplied version of computerstudies, as we learn how to buildand program a system. The Schoolis not too big – you feel you’re partof something – and the facilities aregreat; the computers have all thesoftware you could need and thelabs are fantastic.

What are your favouritemodules?I really enjoyed the basic electronicsmodules, especially the hands-onwork. It really opens up jobopportunities. You can work in IT,networking, as an electronic orsystems engineer, or a softwaredeveloper. I’ve also enjoyed theprojects: my final-year project is onthe wi-fi home – a home automationproject. You can see a clearapplication for what you’re learning,and you’re actually developingsomething that could be used in the wider world.

How was your placement?I worked for a predictivemaintenance company, who collectsensor data and apply machinelearning to understand if a faultwill soon occur. I did a lot ofprogramming, but also a lot ofsoldering and building things. It was perfect. I’m working part-timefor them now, and will go back whenI graduate. I work on the data

CHOOSING YOUR DEGREE

If you’re not sure whichprogramme to choose,here’s a guide to what’savailable, ranging fromdesign and programmingto specialist engineering.

The BEng and MEng degrees arefully accredited by the Institution ofEngineering and Technology (IET).The MEng programmes also meetthe requirements for CharteredEngineer (CEng) status.

Electronic andCommunicationsEngineeringThis is offered full-time as either athree-year BEng or four-year MEngcourse, covering all aspects ofelectronic engineering. Graduatingfrom this degree means you shouldbe able to enter any branch ofelectronics. Subjects you’ll studyinclude analogue and digital circuitsand systems, mobile and othercommunications, and computingfor electronics.

Computer SystemsEngineering In this programme, you’ll be helpedto develop the expertise to designcomputer systems. This includesdetailed, up-to-date knowledge ofcomputer hardware and software,and background knowledge ofelectronics, communicationssystems and control theory. You canstudy full-time on either a three-yearBEng or four-year MEng course,

jointly taught by the Schoolof Engineering and Digital Artsand the School of Computing.

Other programmesBiomedical EngineeringAre you interested in a career inbioengineering? Then you’ll need a solid knowledge of biology andmedical science too.

This three-year, full-time BEngprogramme is offered jointly withthe School of Biosciences. It drawson the School of Engineering andDigital Art’s expertise in developingmedical-electronic systems, andon its research synergies with theSchool of Biosciences.

Electronic and Computer SystemsThis programme is designed forstudents who already have 240credits from modules equivalentto those on our Stage 1 and 2Electronic and CommunicationsEngineering programme. You study full-time for a year to gain thesame qualification as those takinga three-year degree.

and CV writing. This really helpedme get a paid placement duringthe course.

‘I was awarded a University prize formy final-year project, sponsored byMegger Instruments Ltd, and nowI’m working with that company. Itdesigns and makes electrical testequipment, and I’m a hardwareengineer on the graduateengineering programme. You get towork with almost every departmentin the company, so I understandhow it operates and how theproducts are made, from concept todispatch. I’ve learnt a lot about leanmanufacturing, surface-mountproduction, calibration and testing,and designing for manufacture.

‘I’m now in the engineeringdepartment, focusing on thecontinuous improvement ofproducts. My degree preparedme well for this and Kent enabledme to network with my employerwhile still a student.

‘In the near future I’ll be moving to new product design. My aim is to become a chartered engineerand I’m working towards this withMegger. I’d also like to progressto a leadership role.

‘If you’re thinking of coming to Kent,go for it! I thoroughly enjoyed mytime there, and it has already ledto an excellent career in a reallyinteresting subject.’

‘As a local resident, Kent was anobvious choice for me – we’re solucky to have a top university hereon our doorstep!

‘As for the course, I really wanted tolearn about modern communicationsystems and antenna design,because virtually everything haswireless communications, from theInternet of Things to the bank cardsin your wallet. I also wanted tofurther my knowledge of electronicsand embedded systems. Thiscourse offered an excellent mix ofmodules to fully cover these topics.

‘Of all the subjects covered, I reallyenjoyed learning about embeddedcomputer systems includingprogramming, architecture, andapplications. In the final year I chosemodules to further my studies in thisarea, learning how to creativelydesign systems for project work.

‘The teaching was a mixture of lectures, labs, projects, andexample classes. This lets youto study the theory, then apply itin a variety of ways, so you fullyunderstand the material.

‘The lecturers were extremelyknowledgeable, excellent teachers,and always happy to assist yououtside of lectures through emailsor weekly drop-in sessions.

‘Kent provided all the facilities you’dneed to excel, including 24-hourcomputer access, a large and well-equipped lab, quiet study areas,and the Templeman Library. Therewas also a pop-up librarian servicefor engineering, technical supportstaff, academic advisers, anddemonstrators who were alsoMaster’s or PhD students.

‘I really enjoyed spending time withlike-minded students – I learnt a lotfrom discussing electronics withfriends over coffee. And commutingby bike meant I could make themost of the green surroundings;cyclists are very well catered for,with cycle paths and lockableshelters.

‘When it came to job-hunting, Ifound Kent was really focused onemployability, with annual careersfairs where you can learn whatopportunities there are, and meetpotential employers. The School’sEmployability Officer was veryapproachable, giving one-to-oneassistance with work placements
