Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added
Description of module content:

The module will consist of six main parts:i) Develop C programming skills for use in programmable devices.ii) Construct and fault find an electronic circuit.iii) The use of the schematic capture part of the package to produce professional level circuit diagramsiv) The use of a simulator to predict and verify the performance of the circuit designed in the previous stage.v) The use of the layout capability of the package to produce a physical representation of the circuit captured and simulated in the previous stages.vi) Generate the data, build and test the circuit designed using in-house capabilities.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Develop C programming skills for electronic devices.

LO2: Simulate and test operation of an electronic circuit based on a schematic diagram.

LO3: Layout in an appropriate fashion on a correctly sized PCB an electronic circuit with components and interconnects.

LO4: Generate a set of manufacturing data for an electronic circuit and its PCB.

LO5: Build and test electronic circuits, demonstrating correct operation.

LO6: Use a commercial ECAD package to capture, simulate and generate appropriate data.

Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH))
Mode of activityLearning & Teaching ActivityNESH (Study Hours)NESH Description
Face To Face Lecture 10 Each week you attend a 1 hour lecture where we will use various interactive activities to stimulate critical thinking, and foster a collaborative environment to enhance your understanding and retention of the module content.
Face To Face Practical classes and workshops 29 Hands-on activities will be an opportunity to promote peer collaboration, gain feedback from experiential learning and develope engineering skills in a practical setting.
Online Guided independent study 161 A learning approach where students take responsibility for their own learning process, with support and direction from academics through tutorials and research assessments. This method combines the independence of self-directed study with the guidance of a structured framework provided by academic staff.
