Programme Description
The Master of Electronics Engineering (MEE) programme (By Research) aims at preparing engineering graduates with advanced technical knowledge and skills in finding practical and scientific solution to meet the needs and changes of the current engineering problems. The programme will also provide a pathway for graduating students to undertake PhD research in one of the specialised areas of electronics engineering.
Duration of Study
Full time : 1 ½ – 2 years
Part time : 3 – 4 years
Entry Requirements
- A bachelor’s degree in the relevant field with CGPA of 2.75 and above from IUKL or any institution of higher learning accredited by the government, OR other equivalent qualifications approved by the Senate of IUKL.
- Applicants with CGPA of 2.5 and above may apply to the programme pending internal assessment by the Faculty of Engineering and Technology Infrastructure, IUKL.
- For local applicant, sufficient mastery of the English language is required.
- International applicants are required to have a minimum score of TOEFL 550 OR IELTS 6.0 OR have attained a degree from a university where the medium of instruction is English.
Key Features
- Enriching engineering research and education through design and infrastructure approaches.
- Illustrating the infrastructure approaches through a programme focused on the design, development and commercialisation of industrial microelectronics and communication systems.
- Moving towards a Creative Economy by way of the Knowledge Economy in order to sustain development in all areas of Microelectronics and Communications Engineering.
- Computer Programme Development Systems and simulators are available in support of the research work.
Learning/Research methadology
- Students must display an independent approach towards their work, but they will be guided in a research project by an appointed supervisor.
- Students are expected to attend seminars and specific lectures on the research area.
- Students are required to present and defend their research proposal at the end of their first quarter of study.
- Students are obligated to submit monthly progress reports to their supervisor. Periodic consultation will be arranged by the supervisor.
- The Postgraduate Studies Committee will review the performance of the students on a quarterly basis.
- Upon completion of their research, students will present and defend their thesis.
Research Areas
All research topics tend towards, but are not limited to the application and innovation of new and emerging electronic components and technology in the field of Microelectronics and Communications. Some research topics are as follows:
Microelectronics
- Investigation into the use of FPGA and DSP microcontrollers for industrial applications
- Development of industrial monitoring and electronics control architecture which allow functionality in real time applications
- Investigation into integrated circuit designs
Communications
- Research on automated communication between remote machines and central management systems
- Setting up of a communication system to implement an infrastructure system
- Antenna design and optimization
- Study of signal propagation
