Module Overview
This module provides first year undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering with the technical skills required to analyse, design and implement solutions to practical engineering problems.
Students will be provided with the skills required to design and develop code solutions that can implemented on multiple platforms; these skills will be further enhanced through their on-going use in the project component of the first year.
Reassessment of the module, if required, will be by reassessment of the failed elements.
Educational Aims
Develop the ability to analyse engineering problems; select appropriate software and/or techniques to enable the designing, planning, developing and implementation of practical solutions; to be able to specify criteria for determining success.
