BEng (Hons) Telecommunication Systems Engineering (Level 6)

About the course

This course will equip you with the knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviours for a career within the telecommunications industry. It aims to develop skills that will allow you to design robust and fault-tolerant telecommunications networks that can deal with a multitude of different data types. You will be exposed to the latest standards (ITU) and technologies that are in use within a commercial environment. There will be a focus not only on traditional data networks, but in designing networks that can transmit high quality data, audio, voice and video.

📡To develop a sound understanding of telecommunication systems, their applications and their need for high quality real time delivery.
📡To develop a critical understanding of the role that telecommunication systems play within the industrial, Internet and Internet of Things (IoT) community.
📡To develop the knowledge, skills and abilities to specify, build, test and deploy fault tolerant communication networks
📡To develop the professional behaviours expected of those who work within the telecommunications industry, including relevant health and safety requirements.

Method of Assessment

📡Our teaching is centred upon you, aiming to build your confidence by providing timely and informative feedback under the guidance of their teacher.

📡The approach to teaching and learning begins with student centred methods and progresses towards independent learning.

📡During their undergraduate project unit, students should be able to demonstrate various indepth skills including project management and the production of an artefact.

📡Project supervision involves regular tutorial meetings between groups/individuals and their staff supervisor. The project is a required part of the degree that guarantees the Honours element, and is seen both in the University and outside as an indication of the overall abilities and performance of the student.

📡The assessments are designed to assist students in meeting the required learning outcomes and their own learning needs in relation to each unit.

📡The assessments provide you with opportunities to diagnose your skills, abilities, academic/occupational background and to give you an early indication of what specific learning practices may help you improve in specific areas of study, starting from student induction period in conjunction with and throughout the entire in-course period of study. There will be frequent opportunities to get feedback both from tutors, peers and via self-assessment, and some assessments will allow for draft submissions to be considered by a tutor or peers to identify aspects in need of development prior to final hand-in.

📡The assessments are to be inclusive such that a variety of methods will be used in assessing students to ensure that no particular group of students are advantaged or disadvantaged.

📡The methods include portfolios, laboratory practical work, group and individual production projects, individual and group written reports and formal written exams.

📡Mini-projects and case studies provide you with real-world problems. You are expected to find solutions to the problems following the process of analysis, technique evaluation, design and syntheses, and solution evaluation.

📡These mini- projects and case studies are designed in both group work and individual work fashions to allow you to practice your communication skills and team working skills, and to develop the capability of working individually. They are also design in the way in which you need to connect together different elements taught within a unit and also across different units with helps from the course team who explain to you how individual units make-up of the course.

📡Written exams focus on theoretical knowledge and the application of the knowledge to engineering problems.
