Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering

The American University of Malta

The Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering is designed for students interested in computational programming and mathematics within the broader field of electrical engineering.

After you develop a sufficient theoretical framework, you will get ample hands-on time with modules to understand the principles and processes of design and optimization. This program addresses the real-world needs of the industry through a combination of lectures and laboratory courses.

Program Learning Outcomes

The main objective is to prepare graduates for employment as professional engineers in the field of electronics and communications engineering. To achieve this objective, the program will endeavour to provide students with the following knowledge, skills, and competencies:
Knowledge

Students who major in Electronics and Communications Engineering will acquire knowledge in the following areas:

• Basic Sciences (chemistry and calculus based physics).
• Mathematics (calculus, differential equations, probability and statistics, and linear algebra).
• Engineering Areas: Electric circuits and associated labs. Electronics and associated labs. Digital systems, computers and associated labs. Signals, systems, & communications and associated lab. Control systems and integrated systems design.
• Students will demonstrate an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. (ABET Student Outcome f).
• Students will demonstrate the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. (ABET Student Outcome h).
