n
Signals and systems
– electronic circuits, mathematical
methods and algorithms for describing and processing
signals such as audio and video.
n
Electromagnetism
– the principles of the physical systems
and of the mathematical characterisation of the transmission
of electromagnetic radiation.
n
Telecommunications
– electronic circuits and networks and
the principles of modulation and coding for the transmission
of information over guided paths and through free-space.
In the Senior Sophister (fourth) year, in addition to a course
in engineering management, you will choose a combination
of subjects that allows further specialisation in electronic
engineering. Each final-year student also completes a project,
either individually or within a group.
Fourth year courses cover:
n
Integrated systems design and Digital control systems
n
Telecommunications and Digital communications
n
Digital signal processing and Digital media processing
n
Microelectronic technology and Microelectronic circuits
n
Introduction to bioengineering
In the optional fifth year, which leads to an M.A.I. Master’s
degree, students take a course in research methods and a
number of elective courses during the first semester. These
courses include:
n
Digital media systems
n
Speech and audio engineering
n
Statistical signal processing
n
Wireless networks and communications
n
Physiological measurement and data analysis
During the second semester each student undertakes a major
individual project that is assessed by a presentation and an end-
of-year dissertation. Some examples of project areas include:
n
Communications networking
n
Electronic circuit design
n
Integrated circuit technology
n
Electronic and optoelectronic materials
n
Sensor-based ad hoc networks
n
Microphone array characterisation
n
Neural engineering
n
Bioinstrumentation
n
Digital signal and media processing
n
Probability modelling and applications
n
Cognitive radio systems
Study abroad
You may choose to spend the penultimate year at a European
university as part of the Erasmus, Cluster or Unitech exchange
programmes.
Career opportunities
The careers open to graduates in electronic engineering range
from circuit design in electronics companies through network
design and management in telecommunications companies to
opportunities in business and financial management where the
analytic and problem-solving skills of electronic engineers have
long been appreciated.
