Programme Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this programme the graduate will be able to demonstrate... :

PO1 Knowledge - Breadth
  (a) Basic knowledge across a broad area of electronic engineering, together with the skills required to work in the electronics industry. This area includes; Analogue and digital circuits and communications systems, computer systems and programming, microprocessor systems, fundamental electrical principles, mathematics, engineering practice including CAD drawing, manual workshop skills and faultfinding, written and oral communication skills, skills associated with successful completion of an individual project.
PO2 Knowledge - Kind
  (a) The key areas of knowledge and skills required to operate successfully as an electronics technician.
PO3 Skill - Range
  (a) The cognitive skill to relate schematic or circuit diagrams, logic diagrams, and layout drawings to the physical circuit or object under consideration; The competance to operate a wide range of electronic measuring instruments; The ability to use the above instruments to test electronic sub-units, diagnose faults, effect their repair, and write a clear report; The working knowledge of high and low level computer languages; The ability to construct or fabricate electronic circuits when presented with rough schematic diagrams; The ability to propose and specify equipment, and communicate lucidly both orally, and in writing.
PO4 Skill - Selectivity
  (a) The ability to identify and specify engineering problems in system terms; formulate solutions and methods to solve these problems; apply their specialised skills and tools in a structured way as required.
PO5 Competence - Context
  (a) The ability to solve engineering problems, and to make considered judgements on the relative merits of different solutions. In solving engineering problems, those who successfully complete this programme will be able to: compare the merits of various hardware and software solutions; make value judgements in areas of cost and environmental impact; determine whether specialist input is required, or input from people with a different or higher skill level.
PO6 Competence - Role
  (a) The ability to assess the complexity of engineering problems; to work alone, in small groups, or as part of a larger team. The ability to communicate effectively, using the appropriate communication tools and methods, with the engineering community and society at large.
PO7 Competence - Learning to Learn
  (a) An awareness of their learning ability, and the capability of taking responsibility for the pace and depth of their own learning, and where new learning might be of benefit.
PO8 Competence - Insight
  (a) An appreciation of the arts, and the role of technology within society. An awareness of how their industry impacts on the environment and society in general.
