MSc in Electronic System Engineering
JPT/BPP(R2/523/7/0098)10/22
(with an option to spend one additional semester in France for a second degree)
INTRODUCTION
Electronic engineering is a very broad field that encompasses many subfields that includes those that deal with electronic devices and circuit design, control systems, electronics and telecommunications, and embedded systems. Electronics systems comprise of vast amounts of hardware and software and are becoming ever more complex to design, construct, manage and utilise. Such systems require careful specification, and precision design and construction and consequently the demand for engineers trained in the subject is high.
At Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, the MSc Electronic System Engineering Programme is tailored to train young graduates and professionals with advanced design in integrated circuit design and applications and entrepreneurship skills to enable them to perform R&D and commercialization activities and move up the value chain from the manufacturing era to the design era of the electronic industry.
Besides providing in-depth knowledge of specific subject areas, this programme is also intended to expose the graduates and engineers with a range of analytical and research skills that would be of long-term value.
The Programme is designed to meet the capability requirements for
-
Microelectronics & IC Design
-
Communication Systems
-
Smart Instrumentations
This is achieved through 8 technical modules, 2 management electives, a research methodology course and an R&D project. There is a high degree of computer usage for project, teaching and on-line support. The resource materials are professionally prepared in modular form. Extensive use of e-learning methods is an important attribute of the course delivery.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The MSc in Electronic System Engineering is conducted on a full time basis. The student are based at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS for three semesters, with an option to spend one additional semester at the University of Burgundy, France to obtain the double degrees. The curriculum is constantly being revised and expanded through the introduction of new modules reflecting the technological advances in the discipline.
