Semester 1 & 2

Compulsory

Electronics

The aim of the module is to enable students to design and analyse practical analogue and digital electronic circuits and systems.

 

Project Design and Management

The aims of this module are to:

  • Further develop methods and tools required for planning and managing an engineering project.
  • Further develop awareness of ethical, environmental and legislative issues regarding engineering projects.
  • Further develop skills in electronics, programming and mechanical design and construction.
  • Use these in the execution of a research, design and build project in a specialised area of electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering.
