The MEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Study Abroad (HH62) was introduced two years ago. In its first year of operation students abroad were registered on the unit EENG30500 which is more appropriate for students studying in Europe. Students who study in Europe are taught in the home language of the European university they attend. Students taking this unit are taught in English and therefore the emphasis is on studying a technical subject in another country. This unit is therefore more appropriate for students who are studying in an English speaking overseas university.
Aims:
Students will acquire skills similar to those corresponding to the third year of the H606 programme offered at Bristol. In particular, students are required to ensure that material equivalent to the following units forms part of their Year 3 abroad: Control 3 (EENG33000), Embedded and Real-Time Systems - Basic (EENG34030), VLSI Design 3 (EENG34050), Networks and Protocols 3 (EENG34200), Electronics 3 (EENG36000), Industrial Electronics 3 (EENG37000). The learning outcomes should be equivalent to the learning outcomes defined by these units In addition, students are advised to take a group project equivalent to EENG 38030 while abroad. This ensures that students who study abroad are satisfying all the professional requirements of the discipline when they return from their year abroad.
The host institutions programme structure and modes of teaching will be followed. All institutions are approved by the university in consultation with the department for international exchange via the international office.
Assessments for the year will be based on the work at the chosen University. Assessment methods are in the form of written exams and submission of assessed coursework. All assessments are run by the host institution. The assessment is to be based on approximately 120 Bristol credits or a minimum of 100 with additional project work. Each destination will have a designated number of credits that is considered equivalent of 120 Bristol credit points. The mark awarded by the chosen University will be adjusted to an equivalent Bristol mark using approved conversion algorithms.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. EENG30600).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
