Master of Engineering in Electronic Engineering
Course Outline
The Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering provides tuition and practice in state of the art technology areas such as wireless communications, nanotechnology, mixed-signal IC design. It will extend the student's capabilities in a number of established topic areas, e.g. semiconductor engineering and digital communication systems. A module entitled Mathematical Modelling will enhance the analytical skills of students while important engineering management skills will be dealt with in the Technology Management module. The programme is designed to develop the student's knowledge and skills through a study programme which links theory and practice. The programme will also provide students with experience of carrying out post-graduate level research in selected topic areas. The Masters degree requires successful completion of ten compulsory modules and two out of four elective modules. The student must also complete an applied programme consisting of the design project plus dissertation, the mini-project and the workshop seminar series.
The course runs over 3 semesters as follows:
|
Semester 1 |
Semester 2 |
| Technology Management Mathematical Modelling Analogue IC Design Embedded Systems Design Advanced DSP Semiconductor Process Engineering
|
HDL Digital Design Semiconductor Device Engineering Digital Communications Wireless Communications Mixed Signal IC Design (elective) Nanotechnology (elective) Optoelectronics (elective) Communication Networks (elective) |
Career Opportunities
Typical career opportunities for graduates of this programme can be found in the following industry sectors; computer engineering, computer networking, telecommunications, semiconductor devices, IC circuit design, analogue and digital system design, and many others.
