The programme also covers electrical concepts, such as the theory of electrical principles, and electrical machines and drives. A subset of the electronics theme is embedded systems development, and this is supported by an introduction to computer programming, computer engineering and microprocessors. The instrumentation and control of electrical equipment is also addressed.
Emphasis is put on hands-on exercises to reinforce the theoretical concepts covered in the lectures. Heavy use is put on industrial standard software packages such as Matlab, Xilinx, Mentor Graphics and Microsoft’s Visual Development Studio.
The School is equipped with state of the art digital signal processing and digital synthesis development systems made possible by equipment donations from Xilinx and Texas Instruments, this gives students the chance to gain first-hand experience on the best technology currently in use in industry.
The overall aim of this programme is to develop students with the skills to work in the electrical and electronic engineering domain. Through a number of industrial links, the school has established a strong industrial demand for this programme. The expertise and skills you develop from designing and implementing solutions to defined problems as part of a team is highly regarded by employers.
