System-on-Chip Design for DSP and Communications

University of Westminster
London, United Kingdom

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' Increasingly, complete electronic systems are implemented in a single silicon chip. Designing such “system-on-chip�(SOC) integrated circuits requires a new breed of silicon-qualified engineer. This course provides you with the confidence and capability to successfully design SOC integrated circuits.brA rigorous design methodology, essential if custom chips are to be designed right first time, is adopted throughout the course. It is intended for engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians and other numerate scientists interested in the design of integrated circuits.

Course Content
The design of complete integrated circuits is a fundamental part of your study so you can experience at first hand the implementation of this methodology. The course shares a number of modules with the MSc DSP for Multimedia Communications and the MSc Mobile, Personal and Satellite Communications. Projects will be carefully chosen to integrate your interest either with the active research within the Department or with relevant activity in your workplace.

Core modules:
Circuit Design for VLSI
IC Design Project
VLSI Design Techniques

Options, choose three from:
DSP and Communication Processor Design
Linear and Mixed-Signal Circuit Design
Modules from any of the Electronics Masters courses

Teaching and Assessment
Each module consists of a combination of an intensive five-day short course and an Individualised Learning Package (ILP). This is linked to and expands upon the short course and allows you to explore your acquired knowledge further by distance learning. Each module is assessed through the submission of a completed portfolio of work and its defence in a viva voce exam. Formal written exams are not used.

Entry Requirements
You would normally be expected to have either an Honours degree in electrical or electronic engineering, computer science or mathematics; or an Honours degree in a technological topic, provided that good facility with electronic engineering, system analysis and digital systems has been gained. Exceptionally, if you have qualifications differing from the above, but can demonstrate a suitable command of mathematics for system analysis, digital systems, design and electronics and have relevant work experience, you will be considered for enrolment on the Diploma course with possible advancement to the MSc if good results are achieved. If you have not received your secondary or tertiary education in English you should normally have attained the equivalent of an IELTS score of at least 6.5.
