Summary

This module provides first year undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering with the analytic tools required to solve the problems they will encounter as engineers as well as in the course of their degree. The topics covered include the representation and concepts of Signals and Systems, Network Analysis, Data Presentation, and Fields and Waves.

Reassessment of this module, if required, will be 100% by a centrally timetabled exam in the University's resit period exam.

Target Students

Only available to first year students on courses offered by Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
