Aims

• This module is for M.Eng. and B.Eng. 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 and an understanding of the use of CAD tools in the area of electronics.

Content

• Digital electronics, analogue electronics, electronic CAD.

Learning Outcomes

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

• To critically analyse, evaluate and interpret engineering data.
• To apply engineering principles to the solution of a specific, complex problem.
• To use electronic CAD tools and packages proficiently.

• 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.
• Proficient use of information technology relevant to the engineering profession.

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

• Teaching by lectures and tutorials.
• Assessment through written examination enables each student to demonstrate their knowledge and an ability to analyse and solve new problems.
• Electronic CAD leads to capability in the application of the subject knowledge that has been gained. Continuous assessment of this element is based upon the production of detailed technical engineering drawings appropriate to Electronic Engineering. CAD work is carried out in practical sessions which contribute a summative element to the module.
