Course Information & Syllabus
Course Information :
This is a two years course designed in consultation with the industry, looking specifically at RF IC design for
communications systems and associated microelectronic support technologies. Microelectronics makes use of the
application of VHDL and verilog hardware languages for the design of lCs. Communications include the concepts of
protocols, communications, optical fibre, and high frequency design skills.
Year 1 :

Retrieval and Presentation of Information
Major Project
Coursework & Assessment :
Assessment is through examinations, presentations, laboratory work, project reports and viva voce. All students
are required to complete a 10,000-word dissertation, based on project work, in the final semester. The project is
designed to encourage the use and knowledge of theory and design using various CAD tools.
Careers :
Candidates shall be able to pursue careers in communication industry, microelectronics units, R&D units, chip designing and can be also used as the basis for further academic study.
