Civil engineering is a design discipline that is broad and holistic, while also focused and extremely precise. It utilises experimentation, creativity, numerical analysis and calculation and the application of scientific principles to deliver sustainable solutions for people, our societies, cultures and environments. It requires engineers who have refined their skills through experience and demonstrate they can apply learning within a highly communicative, process-driven, teamworking environment.

This module introduces the theories and practical skills required for you to become a successful civil engineer. It includes a series of design projects, ranging in focus and scope, supported by lectures, practical workshops, design tutorials and presentations. You are encouraged to identify your existing skills, competencies and interests, and shape and enhance your own learning – helping you to start to define your own career within the exciting world of civil engineering.

Engineers design physical products, systems and processes. They think big with vision, research, analyse, create, refine and deliver solutions.

The key aim of this module is to provide the background and the methods for the understanding of the operation of basic analogue CMOS cells, and how to design common functions. The emphasis is placed on design of analogue functions specifically as part of mixed signal systems.

Only a few “Digital” CMOS ICs are actually completely digital; most have some analogue functions, often signal conditioning and data conversion interfaces, but maybe only a clock oscillator. The approach adopted is based on “bottom-up” approach, by encouraging a sound understanding of the analogue behaviour of devices and a range of fundamental circuit principles, with the emphasis on gaining skills at first order design by hand as a starting point for simulation and as guidance for optimisation.

Device models suitable for hand calculation are considered as well as their limits of applicability. The methods for manufacturability and robustness in design are given high priority.

Functions addressed include primitive cells, biasing and references, op-amp designs, sampled and continuous time filters, A/D and D/A converters.

Pre-Requisite Knowledge:
- Basic MOS transistor construction and physics
- Basic MOS transistor large and small signal models
- DC and AC network analysis skills
- Behavioural level understanding of Op-Amp circuits
- Elementary appreciation of sampled data systems
- Basic circuit simulation CAD skills (SPICE)

To cover in some depth those areas of circuitry likely to be used between an analogue signal source and a digital signal processing system, making maximum use of available integrated circuits.

This fits in with our overall programme of providing a broad based electronics engineering course, with this module covering the main aspects of measuring outputs from a variety of sensors, designing interface circuits and amplifiers, filtering, and data conversion.

The course will also cover important topics such as clock generation, noise management, power supply design, as well as practical issues such as packaging, EMC and PCB design. The issues are illustrated by case studies where applicable.

It is assumed that the students at least understand the basics of opamp circuits, and basic analogue to digital conversion principles. ELEC2216 Advanced Electronic Systems is a required prerequisite as we build on and extend many of the concepts in this module.
