The Digital Systems Engineering group project will develop knowledge and skills that will prepare students to undertake complex industrial or academic research projects. The project takes the students through different stages of the design and implementation of a modern System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA based digital system, which will culminate in the construction of a complex real-word device.

This group project will immerse students in a life-like scenario of a company developing digital systems. Students will undertake building a complete SoC FPGA-based digital system, and in doing so will gain practical experience of project management and team skills. The system will include both software (such as human-computer interface, low-level programming) and hardware (such as custom hardware on FPGA, A/D and D/A converters, communication interfaces).

'Feedback’ at a university level can be understood as any part of the learning process which is designed to guide your progress through your degree programme. We aim to help you reflect on your own learning and help you feel more clear about your progress through clarifying what is expected of you in both formative and summative assessments. A comprehensive guide to feedback and to forms of feedback is available in the Guide to Assessment Standards, Marking and Feedback.
The School of PET aims to provide some form of feedback on all formative and summative assessments that are carried out during the degree programme. In general, feedback on any written work/assignments undertaken will be sufficient so as to indicate the nature of the changes needed in order to improve the work. The School will endeavour to return all exam feedback within the timescale set out in the University's Policy on Assessment Feedback Turnaround Time. The School would normally expect to adhere to the times given, however, it is possible that exceptional circumstances may delay feedback. The School will endeavour to keep such delays to a minimum. Please note that any marks released are subject to ratification by the Board of Examiners and Senate. Meetings at the start/end of each term provide you with an opportunity to discuss and reflect with your supervisor on your overall performance to date.
