MEng Electronic Engineering Integrated Master's degree at Southampton Solent University

This module sits within the circuit theme and is designed to give you an introduction to the basic terminology, concepts and devices used in electronic circuits.

On this module you will learn how to apply a range of mathematical techniques to realistic engineering problems. You will use basic algebra and solve simultaneous equations and equations of straight lines to answer engineering problems around linked variables in mechanics and electronics.

This module is designed to introduce you to the electrical and electronic principles necessary to analyse circuit behaviour and design. It also provides the foundation for further study of more specialised electrical/electronic engineering techniques used later in your course.

This module helps you to develop an awareness of the factors affecting the selection of materials and processes used in manufacturing a product. It does this by comparing the attributes of materials and the suitability of processes in the light of the external factors that need to be considered when developing the product design specification.

Almost all modern engineering systems contain microcomputer systems, which are especially important in the development of industry 4.0. This module is designed to introduce you to this area and develop your knowledge of the theory and practice of structured programming through high-level language.

This module will introduce you to the profession of engineering. This includes both theoretical and professional skills relating to the role of the professional engineer and also supports your transition into higher education.

This module will equip you with the necessary mathematical knowledge and skill to critically evaluate and analyse electrical/electronic systems. It introduces key mathematical principles and methods, and examines circuit theory, in a way that reviews and extends the basic electrical and electronic principles that you will have encountered in FHEQ Level4.

On this module you will learn/develop your understanding of a variety of vital underpinning mathematical techniques, such as; Laplace Transforms, Fourier Transforms, Vector Analysis, Control Stability Theorems (such as Routh-Hurwitz, and Pole-Zero plots), Differential Equations, Control Block Diagrams, Nyquist & Bode Theorems/Plots, Empirical Tuning Formulae, and Quaternions.

This module will introduce you to the business subjects of marketing, competition and law, including the nature of contracts and ethical considerations. These are key areas for any engineering business – as such every technically focussed engineer should have a good working knowledge of these areas.

This module is part of the communications theme and providing you with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of networking theory, which is an integral part of most engineering and industry 4.0 systems.

In this module you will develop your understanding of the use of circuit theorems and principles. You will also see how such circuits can be used to meet a variety of electronic requirements for practical applications.

This module aims to familiarise you with the whole development cycle of embedded systems. Initially, you will consider the design and implementation of combinational and sequential logic systems.

Analyse discrete-time systems in time and frequency domains. Design and implement digital filters using processors. Evaluate filter performance and communicate findings professionally. Identify applications for digital signal processing processors in real-time systems.

You will develop knowledge of the theory and use of active filters, including basic filter types (Butterworth, Bessel and Chebyshev), filter topology, first-order, second-order and third-order filters, active low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-stop filter stages.

Conduct independent research on a specific engineering topic. Apply analytical skills to theoretical and practical aspects. Evaluate research sources and methods. Manage a significant self-directed project. Communicate findings professionally, adhering to engineering ethics.

The module provides a framework for understanding and evaluating the key design topics and choices in developing radio systems. The module is designed to complement the data communications part of the communications theme and to give the student a structured overview of the wireless communications with emphasis on link design, performance trade-offs, key limiting factors and practical issues in implementation over real world channels.

In this module you will study these organisational constraints by examining the role, techniques and difficulties involved in strategic business management, along with the processes and strictures of formal strategic planning.

This module will provide you with the opportunity to explore and develop your entrepreneurial talents, which are important if you want to develop your own business or understand how businesses are developed. You will develop knowledge and skills around the legal and human resource aspects of setting up and running a successful business.
