UKQC Level 3 Diploma in Electronics Engineering
Description
Diploma in Electronic Engineering programme suits those who are interested in mainstream electronic design and support. This program is designed to provide a balanced curriculum in terms of theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice in learning electronics-related courses. Towards the end of the programme, students are to undergo Industrial Training in gaining real life working experience, and expected to design their own prototype in solving real life problems.
This electronic engineering qualification is designed to give you the underpinning knowledge and specific skills needed to meet the expectations of modern engineering industries and developing technologies.
