pg00003 EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME MEng Aims The MEng programme aims to give an enhanced preparation for professional practice. It includes increased breadth and depth of study beyond that of a corresponding BEng (Hons), and an increased emphasis on industrial relevance. Project work within the MEng programme includes both an individual industrial-based project and a more wide-ranging group design project. More specifically, the MEng programme aims to: • Enable students to pursue professional careers in telecommunication engineering at a level which requires the exercise of sound judgement, personal responsibility and initiative, and the ability to make engineering decisions in complex and unpredictable professional environments with a high level of confidence. • Equip students with a detailed understanding of the principies of telecommunication engineering science, many aspects of which will be at, or informed by, the current boundaries of the discipline. • Equip students with skills to systematically employ engineering principies to produce original analyses of, and solutions to, engineering problems. • Provide a broadly based education in telecommunication engineering allowing scope for entry into a wide range of disciplines within engineering. • Allow students to undertake and complete a major independent industrial project on a given topic and a multi-disciplinary group design project at a level appropriate to a Master's degree; • Produce graduates who are equipped to play the leading roles in industry, professions and public service nationally and/or internationally ; • provide an extensive knowledge and practical understanding of engineering management and business practices; • Develop effective communication and interpersonal skills appropriate to engineers at Masters level; • Provide extended management skills and develop an ability to function as an effective member of a multi-disciplinary team, exercising and developing leadership skills.
