Description including Unit Aims

The session is spent in an institution of higher education in Continental Europe. Links are established with several French Grandes Ecole, the German universities of Erlangen and Hannover. Material covered includes electrical and electronic engineering, mathematics and non-technical subjects.

Intended Learning Outcomes

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.
