课程特征 Course Features：
This course has been designed to provide graduates with a broad education in engineering alongside a greater depth of understanding in imaging and display technology, together with smart mathematical techniques for engineering design and optimisation. Combining computer science, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and management, the course offers opportunities to develop imagination and innovation in design solutions, enterprise, leadership and inter-personnel skills.
Why study at Nottingham Trent University?
The most significant reason to study Engineering (Electronics) at Nottingham Trent is the commercial relevance of our courses. For example, an innovative and distinctive feature of the course is the cross-disciplinary group design project, which provides a challenging, simulated environment in which to work as a member of a team. The project will encourage you to develop your imagination, creativity and innovation in design solutions. You will also build on your leadership, team building and communication skills, all of which are attractive to potential employers.
The course will crucially provide you with a postgraduate level education in the theory and practice of engineering, integrating aspects of computer science, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, business, management and entrepreneurship. The course emphasises the importance of independent learning, problem solving and self-organisation.
课程内容 Course Content：
The postgraduate academic year is divided into three terms: term one has 10 weeks; term two has 20 weeks; and term three has 15 weeks. For the Postgraduate Diploma you will study 40 credits in term one and 80 credits in term two. Those students who wish to continue on to the MSc will study 60 credits in term three. The first two terms are spent studying the taught modules and the last term, pursuing an individual major project.
Core modules
Group Design Project (20 credits)
During this module, you will focus mainly on the technical aspects of developing a cross-disciplinary group design project. The set projects will be taken from areas of advancing technology.
Emissive Displays (20 credits)
By gaining a good understanding of the mechanisms of light generation for a range of available and emerging displays that utilise emissive technologies, you will learn to make a qualified, commercial decision when utilising displays in system design and application.
Smart Engineering and Natural Computing (20 credits)
This module introduces the fundamentals and principles of new smart mathematical tools and techniques in engineering system design and optimisation. Industrial applications of smart engineering will also be discussed.
Optional modules
Applied Industrial Process Control (20 credits)
You will gain knowledge of digital signal processing and the application of appropriate techniques in condition monitoring and
process control, taking into account factors such as advanced human machine interface and sensor technology.
Entrepreneurial Leadership and Project Management (20 credits)
You will develop your appreciation of entrepreneurship and leadership, and their role in economic development, project management and entrepreneurial business success. You will learn the tools and methodologies for effective project management.
Global Business Management (20 credits)
This module includes global business enterprises, global supply chain management, international marketing and the strategic
importance of integrated marketing, design, finance, manufacturing and distribution.
Multimedia Technology and Design (20 credits)
You will learn more about how multimedia technology is used to support business communication and the demonstration of complex engineering concepts. You will also develop your skills in the selection and use of multimedia assets.
Software Engineering 1 (20 credits)
This module allows non-computing graduates to learn the methodologies for the analysis and design of procedural and object-orientated software systems. You will develop skills in procedural programming and the production of software solutions to problems.
Wireless Communications and Mobile Networking (20 credits)
You will gain the knowledge and skills for developing advanced telecommunication software in the area of mobile wireless computing and networking. You will be introduced to the latest wireless technology, Bluetooth connectivity approaches and general packet-switched radio services (GPRS).
MSc Research Project modules
Major Project (60 credits)
You will apply your understanding of research processes and methodologies to develop and integrate knowledge focusing on a specialist Engineering topic.
Research Methods (20 credits)
This module develops your understanding of research design and methodology. As well as being introduced to the School’s research facilities, you will develop the skills necessary for research and for writing a project definition document.
