Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering MSc MSc MSc

Wireless Communications And Machine Learning

Due to the need to transmit a huge amount of data over the wireless interface, increasingly complex methods are required to ensure interference is limited, the communications are secured, and retransmissions are limited. Therefore, adaptive and intelligent methods are required to accommodate a diverse range of traffic profiles in a complex wireless environment. This module will provide in-depth knowledge of telecommunication principles and will enable you to employ machine learning techniques at the physical layer and multiple access level as well as in the design stage to optimise the use of the techniques in harsh environments.

Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles

The rapid growth of autonomous vehicles, encompassing drones, driverless cars, and intelligent vehicular functions, presents a significant developmental challenge for industries such as defence, aerospace, automotive, and marine. To support this technological advancement, a deep understanding of key autonomy aspects is essential, including dynamics, control, guidance, navigation, decision-making, sensor and data fusion, communication, and networking. This comprehensive approach ensures the robustness and dependability of electronics, communications (e.g., V-2-V, V-2-I), and control systems, contributing to the success of autonomous technologies. As many electronic products use a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), this module will provide practical experience of how to design and assemble PCBs. You will work on related projects, which will involve defining the problem, identifying appropriate hardware and software, and implementing the entire system.

Internet Of Things

Electronics and Telecommunications play a vital role in everyday life in making systems run seamlessly without users noticing. You will work as a team to propose, design and build an electronic Internet of Things (IoT) based system in order to solve a problem. You will decide on a problem that can be solved using IoT-based technologies such as suitable sensors, actuators and wireless technologies and work as a team to design and build a proof-of-concept prototype. This will include defining the problem, identifying suitable hardware and software and implementing the entire system.

Msc Individual Project

This is your chance to design and implement your own large-scale project of investigation, experimentation and analysis. Your project will need to have practical and investigative elements, meaning you will have the opportunity to evaluate existing background, theories and knowledge as applied to a design problem or the development and improvement of new or existing processes and products. By using the wide-ranging skills, you have developed during your course you will be able to use practical measurement, design, implementation and above all, creativity, to devise and develop a solution based on sound engineering principles.
