BEng Electronics

The programme educational objectives (PEOs) of the electronics programme are to ensure that graduates will:

1. be educated in a broad spectrum of subjects in the fields of mathematics, IT and science, as well as the specialisation in chosen areas of electronics engineering;
2. possess the requisite knowledge and skills to define and solve multi-disciplinary complex problems, in a holistic manner;
3. become independent learners that will prepare them for life-long learning and embrace the global challenges and opportunities;
4. be able to communicate effectively using different media (orally, in written, graphically);
5. be ethically and professionally responsible and serve society as engineers, project managers, technical consultant and through emerging job roles.

1. Engineering Knowledge - Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and engineering specialization to the solution of complex electronics engineering problems;
2. Problem Analysis - Identify, formulate, research literature and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences;
3. Design / Development of Solutions - Design solution for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations;
4. Investigation - Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions;
5. Modern Tool Usage - Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations;
6. Communication - Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with the society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions;
7. Lifelong Learning - Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change;
8. Individual and Collaborative Team Work - Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings;
9. Ethics - Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice;
10. The Engineer and the World - When solving complex engineering problems, analyse and evaluate sustainable development impacts to: society, economy, sustainability, health and safety, environment and legal frameworks;
11. Project Management and Finance - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

The BEng Electronics degree has been granted full accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) under the Washington Accord framework. The Washington Accord is an international agreement which provides a mechanism for mutual recognition of the substantial equivalence of engineering academic programmes in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level. Countries and regions that are part of Washington Accord include, e.g., Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.
