Research

Taught Modules

EG-150 Signals and Systems

The module introduces mathematical description of signals in the time domain. and frequency domains. Basic properties of deterministic signals and systems are defined. The concept of frequency and frequency domain description of signals is introduced using Laplace transform of continuous time signals. The modelling and simulation of systems using transfer functions and block diagrams is introduced. Pole-zero analysis for the qualitative assessment of system response is presented. Frequency response analysis using the Bode diagram is introduced.
EG-151 Microcontrollers

This module introduces basic microcontroller structure and operation. It consists of a lecture course on the architecture and operation of the target microcontroller, a formal laboratory introduction, and a series of laboratories, culminating in a mini-project in which students will apply their experience to a simple practical problem.
EG-247 Digital Signal Processing

To develop further methods of representing and analyzing signals and dynamic systems, to extend these concepts to sampled-data systems, to introduce concepts in digital signal processing and to use computer-aided methods for modelling and analysis.
EG-252 Group Design Exercise

The module is intended to reinforce aspects of Engineering Applications (EA1) and develop EA2. Advanced features of microcontroller operation are introduced, including interrupts and programming of features of the selected microcontroller. Extended experimental work is carried out as a Group Design Exercise. Practice in using technical IT packages including microcontroller software development and the use of design aids such as PCBs and engineering drawing is inherent. Development of project documentation through a web-site. Concepts of engineering ethics introduced in first year are developed through a formal lecture, and examined as part of the presentation in the final assessment.
EG-3075 Sustainable Integrated Eng Design & Management

This module is designed to reinforce students' abilities in group working, engineering design with an emphasis on electronic applications, but importantly also how to assess the environmental and ethical concerns of significant engineering developments. It is based on a group project covering a range of activities including the design, programming and testing of small autonomous vehicles (micromouse) and consideration of the environmental issues and ethical concerns of the broader use of autonomous vehicles in real world situations.
