Aims

This module is for M.Eng., B.Eng. (Honours) and B.Eng. (Ordinary) students intending to follow an electronic engineering option at Level 3.
The module aims to introduce and/or develop the principles of analogue and digital electronics, electromagnetism, software engineering and communications.

Content

Digital electronics, analogue electronics, electromagnetism, software engineering, communications.

Learning Outcomes

Subject-specific Knowledge

In depth knowledge and understanding of fundamental engineering concepts, principles, theories and mathematics relevant to electronic and information engineering.

Subject-specific Skills

To analyse, evaluate and interpret engineering data.
To write computer programs.
To apply engineering principles to the solution of a particular problem.

Key Skills

Numerical skills appropriate to an engineer.
General problem solving skills that can be applied in a novel context.
Capacity for self-learning in familar and unfamiliar situations

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

Teaching by lectures and tutorials which are supported by a laboratory programme.
Written examinations are appropriate because of the wide range of in-depth, analytical material that is covered.
Laboratory work contributes a formative element to the module and aids the acquisition of subject-specific and key skills.
This module is complemented by other tied modules which provide a substantial project-based content which is more appropriately evaluated through continuous assessment.
