Electronic Engineering MEng at Kings College London

Overview

Our Electronic Engineering MEng course focuses on four key areas in electronics: circuits and systems, signal processing, computing and communication. You will develop in-depth knowledge of and practical expertise in circuit analysis and design, communication systems, computation and software programming for engineers, and hardware design, which will provide a foundation for senior roles in electronics, signal processing, and communication industries.

Key benefits

• Unique combination of electronic engineering, computer science and robotics modules.
• You'll gain a broad understanding of how engineering translates to everyday life through mobile and personal communications as well as information security.
• You'll benefit from our longstanding links with various companies, including Orange, Vodafone, Nokia, NEC, BT and Texas Instruments.
• Our modules are designed to enhance employability and give you transferable and entrepreneurial skills.

Description

Our course will provide you with a thorough and deep understanding of electronic engineering and design techniques. The diverse nature of our course will give you a strong foundation in electronic engineering along with general control and computer systems. There is also a strong focus on developing mathematical skills, which you will use to analyse the performance of communication and control systems.

You will study modules across electronic circuits, hardware design, telecommunication networks, introduction to robotics, and foundations of computing, with optional modules specialising in digital signal processing, robotic systems, optical communications, and other advanced topics. This course will challenge you to think more broadly, translating electronic engineering into everyday life through pattern recognition and cryptography, and telecommunication networks. The fourth and final year of your MEng degree will provide further opportunities for you to deepen and apply your specialist knowledge.

Teaching

You are expected to spend approximately 10 hours work per credit for each module you attend in your degree, e.g. 150 hours work for a 15 credit module. These hours cover every aspect of the module: lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions, independent study, coursework and preparation for examinations.

Assessment

You will be assessed through written examinations, project reports, and coursework. For the practical and design elements, you will be assessed through laboratory write-ups, design projects, presentations, research project reports and oral examinations.
