Unit Set Information

Electronics and Communications Major

Effective from 01-JAN-2025 : Code MABUSL

Electronics and Communications engineering combines the fundamental engineering disciplines of electronic systems and communication systems to provide students with skills in all aspects of analog and digital circuit design, and communications systems development. The major concentrates on the engineering principles required to analyse and solve problems related to the design and implementation of electronic and communication systems. Students gain in-depth knowledge of fundamental physical sciences, electronic circuits and systems, digital signal processing, power electronics, fibre optic and microwave communications, computer networking, and cellular and wireless networks.

Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the electronics and communications discipline.
2. Think critically, and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex electronics and communications problem solving.
3. Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage electronics and communications projects, with some intellectual independence.
4. Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the electronics and communications discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
5. Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
6. Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the electronics and communications discipline, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
7. Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
8. Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice.
