Summary
This module introduces second year undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering to a selected range of activities drawn from the design and development cycle undertaken to provide practical solutions to electronic engineering problems. The activity focuses around hands-on laboratory-based project and team work. Students undertake the development of an electronics and communications system from concept to functional prototype.
Reassessment will be carried out through a significant practical activity (of 1-week length) during the summer. This will culminate in a technical demonstration and viva.
Requisites： EEEE2058 Electronic Processing and Communications
Target Students
Only available to Part I year students on courses offered by Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Classes
- One 2-hour lecture each week for 8 weeks
- One 4-hour laboratory each week for 3 weeks
- Four 7-hour laboratorys each week for 3 weeks
Assessment
- 10% Assignment: 1000 word reflective report
- 10% Presentation: 10 minute video presentation
- 40% Viva voce: A 1-on-1 technical interview, student to answer questions related to the project
- 40% Inclass exam (practical): A 1-on-1 demonstration of the final system to a member of staff, student to explain their contribution to the work.
Assessed by end of autumn semester
Educational Aims
