Exclusions
Description	There are two parts to this module. In Part 1 an introduction for two M.Sc. programmes (MSc in Electronic and Computer Engineering; MSc in Communications Engineering) is given. Part 2 focuses on aspects relevant to some other modules in the MSc Electronic & Computer Engineering programme and also expected to be useful for MSc project. Part 1: Case studies in Professional Engineering covering professional and ethical conduct in engineering the commercial and social context management and business practices sustainable development regulatory requirements health & safety, environmental and commercial risk Introduction to signal processing Fourier transform Basic probability concepts Introduction to data analysis Programming in Matlab Presentation and report writing skills Part 2: Mathematical techniques: Laplace Transform Z Transform Linear Algebra
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the economic, legal, social, ethical and environmental context associated with their engineering studies. Perform basic analysis of data. Use programming techniques in Matlab. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the issues relevant to disseminating research, including verbal and written communication skills. Construct and test hypotheses and theories. Use Laplace and Z transforms in order to solve differential and difference equations
Assessment	30057-01 : Module Mark : Mixed (100%)
Assessment Methods & Exceptions	Main assessment (50%) coursework (corresponding to Part 1) after the module delivered (Canvas submission) – consisting of Responsible Engineer part (assessed by a group presentation and report) and Technical part (may be assessed by a report or several Canvas-based timed summative assessments, e.g., quizzes) and (50%) test (corresponding to Part 2): Option A: 2 hour closed book examination at end of module (January exam) Option B: Open book assessment released and submitted via Canvas Supplementary/Reassessment Reassessment to match the main assessment method with due consideration made to any restrictions imposed at the time of reassessment. Students can carry forward passed assessment components from main assessment.
