MSc:
This MSc provides advanced training in Electronics, Communications and Computer Engineering. It will give students a comprehensive coverage of the skills required by an engineer working in instrumentation, electronic systems, wireless and wired telecommunications, computer hardware, and software aspects of computer engineering.
The course provides an excellent basis for engineers wishing to update their knowledge, students who wish to go on to do research, or for first degree students wishing to enhance their training.
Students will develop:
the design, analytical and critical powers in relation to hardware and software aspects of complex electronic systems
the ability to plan and undertake an individual project
interpersonal, communication and professional skills
the ability to communicate ideas effectively in written reports
decision making powers in relation to the specification and solution of embedded system design, system-on-chip (SoC) and electronic engineering problems for appropriate
electronic systems and computer systems
Following the successful completion of the taught modules, an individual research project is undertaken during the summer term.
Previous research projects on this course have included:
FPGA implementation of the optimized SIFT Algorithm for an image matcher
Zigbee-Based generic wireless data acquisition systems
Digital pulse position modulation for free space optical communication
