课程特征 Course Features：
Electronic engineering underpins the very fabric of modern-day living. It is a discipline at the forefront of advances that have shaped the way we live today and continues to push forward technological frontiers. This course is designed to respond to a growing skills shortage of people with core knowledge in advanced electronic engineering. It provides relevant, up-to-date skills that will enhance your engineering competencies. You will broaden your knowledge of electronic engineering and ability to apply new technologies in the design and implementation of modern systems.
课程内容 Course Content ：
You will study eight units on this course plus an individual project. Currently, the units are:
•VHDL and Digital Systems Design
•Advanced DSP Techniques
•Mixed Signal Processors
•Sensors and Measurement Systems
•Microwave and Wireless Technology
•Communication Security
•Communication System Analysis
•Project Research and Planning
The course concludes with a four-month individual project in which you apply your knowledge to a significant, in-depth piece of analysis or design. Your projects will be tailored to your individual interests and may take place in our own laboratories or, by agreement, in industry.
MSc by Extended Project offers an alternative study mode, based on an extended project and is available to applicants who already have a specialist background in the field of study.
This involves two units from the above plus the following:
•Project Management
•Research Methods
•Extended Individual Project
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
You will be taught using a mixture of lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions and project work. Each unit typically has about 30 hours scheduled for lectures and supervised activities. In addition, you will need to spend significant time in our electronic, communications and computer laboratories, as well as in private study as directed by lecturers.
Lecturers generally spend part of the scheduled time in tutorial sessions to help you with any technical aspects of the course of which you are unsure. You will also have a personal tutor who can help with any other personal or academic problems should they arise.
Assessment is geared towards the subject matter in a way that encourages a deeper understanding and allows you to develop your skills. It includes examinations, assessed coursework, laboratory work and a dissertation that can often be linked with industry.
职业机会 Career Opportunities:
On successful completion of the course, you will have gained the skills and knowledge that will make you attractive to a wide variety of employers with interests ranging from overall system design to the more detailed development of subsystems. It is an excellent preparation for a successful career in this expanding and dynamic field.
