About this course
Master of Engineering in Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology, an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on engineering at the nanoscale and testing microscopic electronic devices. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete an individual project in a chosen area of nanotechnology, followed by a collaborative group design project set by an external industrial or academic customer in the final year. The first year establishes fundamental technical foundations through compulsory modules such as Circuits, Digital Systems, Electronic Systems and Devices, and Engineering Mathematics. The second year advances core knowledge via studies in Applied Electromagnetism, Communications, Control and Systems Engineering, and Signal Processing. In the third year, students tackle Nanoelectronic Devices and undertake the first two phases of their individual project, alongside optional modules covering topics such as Advanced Computer Architecture, Biosensors and Diagnostics, and Foundations of Machine Learning. The final fourth year features compulsory group design work alongside an extensive selection of advanced options spanning Nanoelectronic Devices, Microfabrication, Quantum Devices and Technology, and Silicon Photonics.
