Course programme


Core modules:
  • Digital Control (20 cp) - This module introduces key techniques for practical digital control systems and process control including processing of digital signals. By means case studies, the students will develop knowledge and understanding of object-oriented 4th-generation programming as applied to digital control.
  • Embedded Systems (20 cp) - This module introduces the theory and practice of embedded engineering including performance, limitations, and benefits of micro-controllers and other embedded controller systems. Through the use of a small scale development project on an embedded device, you will develop knowledge and understanding of the communications and integration capabilities of embedded devices.
  • Wireless Communications (20 cp) - This module aims to develop the knowledge and understanding of wireless communication technologies, practical constraints and their applications to simulated and / or practical implementation scenarios. Case studies will include examples of advanced topics in wireless communications.
  • Group Design Project (20 cp) - 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.
  • Major Project (60 cp) - You will apply your understanding of research processes and methodologies to develop and integrate knowledge focusing on a specialist Engineering topic.
  • Research Methods (20 cp) - 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.
Optional modules:
  • Entrepreneurial Leadership and Project Management (20 cp) - 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 cp) - This module includes global business enterprises, global supply chain management, international marketing and the strategic importance of integrated marketing, design, finance, manufacturing and distribution.
  • Software Engineering 1 (20 cp) - 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.
