A. PROGRAMME INFORMATION
By far, the 21st Century has witnessed the fusion of electronics and computers in so much as it is almost impossible
nowadays to find a modern device which is devoid of a microprocessor or micro-controller of some kind inside,
giving rise to a new breed of smart and ubiquitous devices that will shape our lives in the future. In the first year of
the programme, the fundamentals of electronics, mathematics, as well as the underlying principles and theory of
computing are introduced. The second and third years build on the first with core modules in electronics, computing
and communication systems.
Moreover, in their last level, students will have one Professional Work Placement for one full semester so that they
can apply their theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems in electronic engineering. Students will have to
complete a final year individual project to be qualified for the BEng programme.
APPROVAL OF CURRICULUM
This BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering programme meets the academic requirements set by the Council of
Registered Professional Engineers (CRPE) of Mauritius.
B. PROGRAMME AIMS
This programme aims to produce engineering graduates equipped to play valuable roles in the Electronics and ICT
industry both locally as well as overseas. Successful graduands are expected to become registered professional
engineers.
JOB PROSPECTS
Electronic engineering graduates are naturally expected to find employment in the electronics-related sector such
as Power Generation, Automotive, Construction, FMCG, Pharmaceutical, Marine, Rail, and Utility industries.
However, non-engineering careers, such as, in Consulting, Law, Financial Services, Sales and Pre-sales, IT and
Education where analytical skills and high levels of numeracy are expected, are also possible.
C. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
To provide an understanding of technical and intellectual skills so that students can:
• Analyse and solve engineering problems
• Design a system, component, or process to meet a need
• Evaluate designs, processes and products, and make improvements
• Take a holistic approach in solving problems and designing systems, applying professional judgments
to balance risks, costs, benefits, safety, reliability, aesthetics and environmental impact
Note:
As per the recommendation of CRPE of Mauritius, the Brevet de Technicien (Scientifique) or any other higher
technical qualifications are no longer admissible in lieu of the requirements above.
I. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
◦ As per UTM’s Regulations and Policy.
J. CREDIT SYSTEM
This programme is aligned with the European Credit and Transfer System (ECTS). The programme
promotes a unified procedure for academic recognition of study periods performed. The system introduces
standards for assessment and comparison of study levels in various academic institutions and enables to
recognition of diplomas at the European job market.
One module is worth 6 credits and will carry 150 hours of learning to comprise 45 hours of delivery which
could be any combination of face-to-face, blended, online, seminar, workshop, or joint session. The
remaining 105 hours will cover self-learning, self-study, guest lecture, etc. The final year project is assigned
12 credits.
For the award of the degree, all modules must be passed overall with passes in the examinations,
coursework, and other forms of assessment. All modules will carry 100 marks and will be assessed as
follows (unless otherwise specified):
(i) Written examinations and/or practical examinations will normally carry a weightage of 60% unless
otherwise specified.
(ii) Continuous assessment will normally carry a weightage of 40% unless otherwise specified.
(iii) Continuous assessment for the specific modules ‘Communication workshop’ and ‘Research
methodology’ shall be 100% of the total marks. Continuous assessment can be based on a
combination of assignments, field studies, workshops, and class tests.
(iv) The overall pass mark for a module is 40%.
Grading
• The % mark at Level 1 contributes a 20% weighting towards the degree classification.
• The % mark at Level 2 contributes a 20% weighting towards the degree classification.
• The % mark at Level 3 contributes a 30% weighting towards the degree classification.
• The % mark at Level 4 contributes a 30% weighting towards the degree classification.
