Schedule
Wednesday 10:00-12:00, 15:00-17:00, ELK Lab. II
Thursday 13:00-15:00, 15:00-17:00, ELK Lab. II
The module will be delivered in a series of practical sessions consisting a set of experiment in telecommunication laboratory and self-directed study on the part of the student. The course is taught by laboratories at the rate of 2 hours per week.
A part of the laboratories will consist of delivery of the material using powerpoint.
The experiments will include discussion questions which will be used to stimulate in-class discussion.

PO-5
Ability to design and conduct experiments, gather data, analyze and interpret results for investigating engineering problems.
PO-6
Ability to work efficiently in intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary teams; ability to work individually.
PO-7
Ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing; knowledge of a minimum of one foreign language.
PO-8
Recognition of the need for lifelong learning; ability to access information, to follow developments in science and technology, and to continue to educate him/herself.
PO-9
Awareness of professional and ethical responsibility.
PO-10
Information about business life practices such as project management, risk management, and change management; awareness of entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development.
PO-11
Knowledge about contemporary issues and the global and societal effects of engineering practices on health, environment, and safety; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
