This programme aims to produce professional engineers with
the skills, expertise and more theoretical knowledge to apply
electronic systems to a wide range of engineering situations.
These skills are developed via a broad education in Electronic
Engineering with an emphasis on the application of theory
to practical problems. Electronic Engineering, being a versatile
programme has a wide choice of career opportunities, which
includes areas in Electronic Systems Design and Development,
Controls and Instrumentation, Electronic Circuit Design and
Troubleshooting, Communications, Networking, etc.
| Module |
Description |
| YEAR
1 |
| Engineering Computing 1 |
This module provides the student with a range of basic
concepts of information technology. It also provides an
introduction to the technical issues which affect the
performance of computer systems in the real world. |
| Mathematics 1 |
This module aims to study the following mathematical
topics which are fundamental to the applications of mathematics
to engineering problems.
Algebraic manipulation, partial fractions, trigonometry,
complex numbers
(rectangular and polar forms), matrices, vectors, power
series, differentiation (implicit, parametric, partial),
integral calculus. |
| Technology Management 1 |
The aim of this module is to introduce the student to
the management of technology. The module will provide
the student with an introduction to the role of the engineering
manager in modern industrial organisations. The student's
oral, written and technical communication skills will
also be developed through the use of integrated study. |
| Engineering Materials |
This module provides the student with the fundamental
principles underlying the mechanical and electrical properties
of materials. |
| Mechanical Principles A |
The aim of this module is to provide the student with
a foundation in the knowledge of Mechanical Engineering
Science and Principles, and apply them to the design and
analysis of engineering components. |
| Electronic & Electrical Principles |
The aim of this module is to develop in the student
an understanding of the basic concepts and principles
of electronic and electrical engineering and apply these
principles to solve engineering problems required for
initial design activities. It provides the student with
the basic knowledge of ac and dc circuit analysis, electric
and magnetic field theory and an introduction to analogue
and digital electronics. |
| Mechanical Principles B |
The aim of this module is to provide the student with
a foundation in the knowledge of Mechanical Engineering
Science and principles, and apply them to the design and
analysis of hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and thermodynamic
systems. |
| Engineering Applications |
The aim of this module is to develop an understanding
of the role of the professional engineer at work by the
study of products over their whole life. |
| YEAR
2 |
| Electronic & Electrical Engineering |
This module reinforces and extends the study of electrical
and electronic principles introduced in the Electrical
Principles Module of the first year of study. Analogue,
digital and power electronic circuits will be analysed
to develop an understanding of their design. |
| Engineering Design and Analysis |
The aim of this module is to develop an understanding
of the formal design process and expand the knowledge
of engineering principles introduced in the first year. |
| Mathematics 2 |
This module aims to build on the work of Level 1 and
extend those aspects of Mathematics required in this and
later stages of the degree programme. The module also
provides a grounding in those aspects of Statistics required
in this and later stages of the degree programme. |
| Engineering Computing 2 |
This module provides the student with an in depth understanding
of the structured design and implementation of software
for the engineering environment. It also develops the
student's understanding of computer architecture in the
context of program development and system performance.
|
| Control Engineering 2 |
The aim of this module is to provide the student with
a foundation in instrumentation systems and programmable
logic controllers. |
| Manufacture and Materials 2 |
The aim of this module is:
To provide an understanding of the selection and heat
treatment of alloy steels, cast irons and non-ferrous
metals and alloys; surface hardening of steels; corrosion
prevention methods; an understanding of machinability,
machine tool design and the principles of engineering
metrology; an understanding of the manufacturing techniques
used in the electronic industry. |
| Project Methodology |
The aim of this module is to develop the tools of project
methodology by means of team activities of an international
nature. |
