The 2-unit course is project based. Students will be provided with individual or small group project supervision to help them implement their project proposal from ENGG3802. The objective of the course is to provide an initial technical implementation showing the technical feasibility of the proposal. The focus is carry out practical prototyping, simulations and/or computer coding and build a pre-alpha proof of concept demonstration via initial computer software or design/building of the critical hardware subsystems. At the end of the course, students will present their work to a panel of assessors in a project competition, and those shortlisted will be assessed by a panel including external entrepreneurs who may consider the successful projects for possible continuation (eg as the final year project or capstone project of their major programme). (Pre-requisite: ENGG3802 with Grade B+ or above or with consent of instructor.)

Students will conduct research study of a topic in Electronic Engineering under the supervision of a teaching staff. (Not for students who have taken ENGG3920.)

The 1-unit course will introduce engineering entrepreneurship and provide the key basic concepts needed in the preparation of technical proposals and business plans. The course will introduce students to analytical process of evaluating new ideas, and metrics to compare ideas with existing approaches in the market. The course will include in class discussion of forecasts based on market size estimates, cashflow analysis and technical development plans. The course objective is to prepare students to develop and present their innovative technical ideas that have potential for practical development as a preliminary entrepreneurship project in the following semester in ENGG3803. In addition to a formal written proposal to describe their ideas, students will also be asked to present their proposal to the course instructor. Shortlisted proposals will be invited to a second presentation where a panel of experienced engineering entrepreneurs select proposals for further development.

This course aims to provide basic training and hands-on experience on electronic product design and development. Topics to be learnt include information search; project planning; design methodology; selection of components; prototyping; testing procedures; trouble shooting; and documentation. The course will consist of lectures (basic training) and laboratory practice relating to the development of electronic products with pre-defined specifications.
