About this course
Master of Engineering in Aerospace Electronic Engineering, an electrical and electronic engineering degree centred on electronic systems for aircraft and spacecraft. Core topics include programming, systems design, circuit design, computer architecture, embedded systems, signal processing, microelectronics, control systems, statistics, mathematical modelling, research methods, critical & analytical thinking, and artificial intelligence & machine learning. This four-year integrated master's degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology to fully meet academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer, and features practical work including a group design project and individual project phases. The first year covers foundational principles through Circuits, Digital Systems, Electronic Systems and Devices, and Engineering Mathematics. The second year progresses with Aerospace Simulation and Modelling, Applied Electromagnetism, Control and Systems Engineering, and Flight Mechanics and Aerospace Systems Engineering. The third year involves compulsory modules such as Guidance, Navigation and Control, Radar Techniques and Applications, and Space Systems Engineering, alongside optional choices covering areas like Advanced Partial Differential Equations, Biosensors and Diagnostics, Control System Design, Digital Control System Design, From Data to Dynamical Model: System Identification, Imaging for Digital Health and Bioscience, Integral Transform Methods, Introduction to Bionanotechnology and Computational Biology, Manufacturing and Materials, Mechanical Power Transmission and Vibration, Operational Research, Precision Health: Machine Learning Under Uncertainty, Real-Time Computing and Embedded Systems, Robot Kinematics and Dynamics, Security of Cyber Physical Systems, Signal and Image Processing, and Wireless and Optical Communications. The final year includes core modules such as Group Design Project and Industrial Studies, with further optional modules available including Advanced Micro and Nanosystems, Applied Control Systems, Cryptography, Electronics for Spacecraft, From Data to Dynamical Model: System Identification, Image Processing, Individual Research Project, Intelligent Mobile Robotics, Microsensor Technologies, Modelling with Differential Equations, Nonlinear Control of Aerospace Systems, Numerical Methods, Power Electronics for DC Transmission, and Wireless Transceiver Design and Implementation.
