Compulsory modules
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.
Communications
The aims of this module are to:
- provide a foundation for telecommunications theory
- provide a theoretical and mathematical basis for the sampling, analysis and processing of signals in communications
- introduce the principles of free space communications links
- take into account regulatory and legal issues with operating in the electromagnetic environment.
Advanced Mathematics 1
The aim of this module is to introduce a range of advanced mathematical methods appropriate to the needs of second year engineering students.
Advanced Electromagnetism
The aims of this module are to:
- Introduce the students to the laws of electromagnetism and familiarise them with the complete set of vector field (Maxwell)
equations. - Provide an appreciation of the fundamental and pervasive role of Electromagnetism throughout science and engineering.
Control System Design 1
The aim of the module is to introduce modelling and control of dynamic systems using classical control techniques.
Advanced Mathematics 2
The aim of this module is to introduce a range of advanced mathematical methods appropriate to the needs of second year engineering students.
Power Conversion and Networks
The aims of this module are to provide the student with an understanding of power conversion equipment and electrical networks. This includes the knowledge of how to analyse such systems both theoretically through equivalent circuits and practically through laboratory experiments.
