Continuing Professional Development


The Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering and the Centre for Satellite Engineering Research actively support the concept of Continuing Professional Development. We run a number of short courses ranging from 1 day through to 5 days; we encourage attendance at our post-graduate MSc lecture modules either as occasional students or as a registered student on a part-time Modular MSc program and we host lectures arranged by the Department or by professional bodies such as the IEE. Research groups often open their research seminars to external visitors.


Short Courses

The following short courses are planned for 1995/6. It should be appreciated that the University reserves the right to cancel a course if there is insufficient demand.

Certain courses will have an optional assessment element whereby credits may be obtained which can count towards a Modular MSc.

2-5 Sep 1996             Multimedia Techniques

[C]2-6 Sep 1996           Advanced R.F. Circuit & System Design

10-12 Sep 1996           Advanced Networking and Internetworking

13 Sep 1996              A Corporate Management Introduction for LANS, WANS and the Internet

16-20 Sep 1996           Computer Vision for Automated Industrial Inspection

23-24 Sep 1996           Finance & Management Accounting For Engineers

[C]30 Sep - 4 Oct 1996    Mobile & Personal Communications

[C]21-25 Oct 1996         Telecom Networks
Other Short Courses, also within our Modular MSc scheme, are currently under preparation.

MSc-Courses

Currently most MSc modules are organised as 30 hours of lectures delivered in 3-hour periods (either 10:00 to 13:00 or 14:00 to 17:00) one day a week during the teaching semesters.

You may register as an occasional student on any of the MSc modules - as such you will not be accessed and thus will not be able to obtain any credits towards a future MSc degree.

Alternatively you may register as a part-time student on our Modular MSc course (you will have to meet certain educational qualifications) - each module besides the 30 lecture hours will have additional problem classes and laboratory periods. It will be assessed by a mixture of coursework (laboratory work, programming assignments and/or essays) and a 2-hour closed book written examination.
