Advanced Electronic and Electrical Engineering
(MSc) Advanced Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Entry for 2022
FHEQ level
This course is set at Level 7 (Masters) in the national Framework for Higher Education Qualifications.
Course learning outcomes
M1. Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering.
M2. Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions. This will involve evaluating available data using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed.
M3. Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed.
M4. Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems.
M5. Design solutions for complex problems that evidence some originality and meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.
M7. Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems (to include the entire life-cycle of a product or process) and minimise adverse impacts.
M16. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance.
M17. Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used.
