Part 2: Educational Aims of the Programme

The programme is designed to provide the balance of theoretical and practical understanding needed to meet the demands of the electronic engineering industry for engineering practitioners, and in particular to meet the requirements for professional accreditation in partial fulfilment of CEng.

To produce graduates with a broad understanding of the discipline in conjunction with a detailed understanding of their chosen specialism of electronic engineering.

The Electronic Engineering programme produces graduates with a wide range of expertise relevant to the electronics industry. The programme covers a broad range of disciplines such as digital and analogue circuit design, power electronics, control, signal processing and project management. A number of developments have occurred in electronic engineering in recent times, although signals are analogue in nature, many electrical or electronic designs involve conversion to digital format as soon a possible and processing by microprocessor or digital integrated circuit. In recognition of this, this programme allows students to develop expertise particularly in system design, microprocessor hardware/software design and simulation and modeling techniques.

The programme has been designed to cater for students with both industrial and/or academic backgrounds, to develop problem solving skills and be able to demonstrate leadership in a number of engineering settings.

The aims are that the graduate shall:

Gain a sound knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles governing the behaviour of electronic and digital systems and of the related mathematics;

Be capable of analysis of the behaviour of complex electronic, digital electronic or electrical systems ;

Demonstrate a capacity for innovative and creative design and be able to draw on knowledge of fundamental principles and proven systems to further develop existing systems and to generate new systems which meet required specifications;

Have a broad knowledge and understanding of engineering theory, practices and applications and be able to use advanced techniques of analysis, synthesis and simulation, and implementation in the field of electronic engineering or electrical engineering,

Have developed the ability, interest and motivation to conduct independent study and keep abreast of future changes in technology and engineering practices.

Be able to work in a largely unsupervised way to undertake an individual research project and present the findings in a professional manner,

Be able to communicate clearly, concisely and persuasively with individuals and groups, using a professional standard of English, both orally and in writing.

Programme requirements for the purposes of the Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR)

Part 4: Student Learning and Student Support

Teaching, learning and assessment strategies to enable learning outcomes to be achieved and demonstrated At UWE, Bristol there is a policy for a minimum average requirement of 12 hours/week contact time over the course of the full undergraduate programme. This contact time encompasses a range of face to face activities as described below. In addition a range of other learning activities will be embedded within the programme which, together with the contact time, will enable learning outcomes to be achieved and demonstrated. On the BEng Hons Electronic Engineering programme teaching is a mix of scheduled learning and independent learning. Scheduled learning includes lectures, tutorials, project supervision, demonstration, practical classes and workshops; external visits; Scheduled sessions may vary slightly depending on the module choices made. Independent learning includes hours engaged with essential reading, case study preparation, assignment preparation and completion etc. These sessions constitute an average time per level as indicated in the table below. Scheduled sessions may vary slightly depending on the module choices made. Placement learning: There is an opportunity to undertake a year long industrial placement between years 2 and 3.

Description of Distinctive Features and Support Academic Support Academic advice and support is the responsibility of those delivering the individual modules. Academic staff is expected to be available outside normal timetabled hours, either by appointment or during published "surgery" hours, in order to offer advice and guidance on matters relating to the material being taught and on its assessment. Students also have a personal academic tutor Developing graduate skills In year-1 students have group meetings with their Academic personal tutor to introduce reflection on graduate skills and career aspirations. Year 2 provides extensive opportunities toward placement and career planning, including sessions from university careers and placements team and from industrial recruitment personnel toward application and CV writing, and good interview techniques. In Year 3 students engage with developing their graduate skills through project work and their project supervisor. PAL The Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) scheme provides additional learning support for students by students. PAL leaders are recruited from the level 2, 3 and M cohorts each year and are trained in both facilitating learning and study skills. PAL leaders support taught modules by providing sessions in addition to lectures, labs and tutorials. Mathematics and Programming Support Additional support in mathematics outside of timetabled classes is available throughout the academic year via: (i) PAL sessions, (ii) Drop-in mathematics and programming helpdesks, “espressoMaths” and “espressoProgramming”

which are open every week day during term in social learning spaces. (iii) the Mathematics Resource Centre which is accessible by students using their swipe card and has

take-away leaflets, text books, module handbooks and reference material (iv) on-line support and electronic learning resources such as that Maths 1st Aid Kit leaflets, HELM

booklets and http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk/ (v) Mathematical software such as Maple (which students may download for home use) and Matlab.

Part 4: Student Learning and Student Support

Technology Enhanced Learning All modules on the programme are available via the university’s Virtual Learning Environment.

Computer based e-assessment is implemented in a number of modules, so that students can take regular short tests with automated computer generated feedback.

Recordings of some lectures (audio and/or video) are made available after classes via the university’s Virtual Learning Environment.

Pastoral Care

The faculty offers pastoral care through two routes:

Personal Academic Tutors: All level 1 students are assigned a Personal Academic Tutor, who is an academic member of staff in their department. Students meet individually with their tutor at least twice a year and also participate in group sessions with the Personal Academic Tutor’s tutor group (max size 15) during years 1 and 2. In year 3 project supervisors take on the role of Personal Academic Tutor.

Student Advisers, a team of administrative staff who provide comprehensive, full-time student support service on a drop-in basis or by appointment. Advisers are trained to provide advice on matters commonly of concern, including regulatory and other matters; the Adviser will, when necessary, advise the student to seek advice to from other professional services including the university's Centre for Student Affairs or from members of academic staff.

Facilities to Support Learning Within the Faculty of Environment and Technology student learning will be supported in the following distinctive ways : 1. Through provision of Open Access and other available computer laboratories that provide access to a

range of relevant computer based applications 2. Through provision of the System Support Helpdesk that provides a range of support for learning to

students including: support for a wide range of applications used by the students; help in the form of assistants who are trained to resolve many common student problems and help in the form of a large set of ‘help-sheet documents’, developed over a number of years, that cover a variety of common student requests for information.

3. Technical support staff are available in laboratory sessions and during project work. 4. Extensive laboratory facilities to support the technological modules. These include the Electronics

Laboratory (2N40) with facilities for investigation of electrical and electronic principles and circuit design, build and test, the Control and Telecommunications Laboratory (1N65) with facilities for control system analysis and design, the Microprocessors and Digital Systems laboratory (2N24).

5. Several Project Rooms which provide students with individual and group work spaces and the facilities. University-wide services include a Virtual Learning Environment (Blackboard), significant library facilities including dedicated services for international students, and a Global Student Support team.

Computing Facilities In addition to the wide range of computing facilities offered by the University, the Faculty runs a specialised system with 13 laboratories running Windows and 4 with the Linux operating system. The facilities are available on a 24 hours basis during term time, with swipe card access during evenings, at night and at weekends. The labs offer a variety of specialist engineering software, much of which is available for students to download for their home machines. In addition there is an Open Access lab, not used for teaching so giving access to machines at all times. Support for the computing system is provided with extensive information on the web, ranging from which lab has free machines (on a real time basis), where to find specific software packages and how to use the printing system, to problem solving and FAQs. A support desk, staffed largely by placement students, provides first line support to users during normal office hours.


Part 5: Assessment

Approved variant to University Academic Regulations and Procedures

The Institution for Engineering and Technology accreditation requirements:

Part 7: Entry Requirements

The entry requirements for this programme can be found at http://courses.uwe.ac.uk/H61D

Part 8: Reference Points and Benchmarks

Description of how the following reference points and benchmarks have been used in the design of the programme: QAA subject benchmark statements: All modules in the programme have been written to conform to the learning outcomes required by the Engineering Council UK. This is mandatory for accredited engineering programmes. The specific outcomes are derived from the requirements for electronic and digital engineering described in the The IET Handbook of Learning Outcomes for BEng and MEng programmes. The modules have been designed to ensure adequate and appropriate coverage of these outcomes across the levels of study. SEEC level descriptors have informed the design of the assessment of the learning outcomes. University strategies and policies: This programme is a refreshed and updated version of a programme that has run for many years. It has a long tradition of accepting students from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of entry qualifications. It accommodates student entry on a part-time basis at several points within the programme as well as having a tradition of direct entry to year 2 for full-time overseas students. Modules within the programme are also delivered within partner institutions regionally and globally. Foundation degrees and higher apprenticeship schemes have been developed in conjunction with academic and industrial partners as feeders into this programme. The new curriculum has been designed to take the best practice from the previous structure along with the introduction of online and electronic assessment. This, when combined with the new laboratories, will provide an enhanced student experience. Staff research projects: Research and industrial collaborations are key to several modules including UFMFHA-15-2, UFMFKA-30-2, UFMFE7-15-3, UFMFX8-30-3. There are strong links between the programme and the Institute for Bio-Sensing Technologies, the Bristol Robotics Lab, the Centre for Machine Vision and knowledge exchange programmes. Employer interaction and feedback: The Department of Engineering Design & Mathematics works with a number of industrial partners through two consortia and a newly formed industrial liaison panel. Feedback from employers during visits to placement students has also has also helped inform this revised programme. The programme provides part-time options which ensure an ongoing interaction with regional employers.

This specification provides a concise summary of the main features of the programme and the learning outcomes that a typical student might reasonably be expected to achieve and demonstrate if he/she takes full advantage of the learning opportunities that are provided. More detailed information on the learning outcomes, content and teaching, learning and assessment methods of individual modules can be found in module specifications, available on the University’s website.
