Report on the Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (CCME0052)

This is the compulsory 10,000 word Report for the MA TESOL Pre-Service programme.

A report presents your own research on a topic of interest within the field of language teaching/applied linguistics. Most students will engage in some form of empirical research (i.e. collection/ analysis of primary data such as interviews, classroom observation and/ or questionnaires) for their report but this is not compulsory and it is possible, for example, to do literature-based reports.

The main point is that a report should not be based only on evidence collected and analysed by previous researchers; it should contain something of the student’s own. You will have the opportunity to develop your ideas about what to do for your report during support sessions for the report. While we encourage you to follow your research interests, you should remember that there are limitations as to what it is possible to achieve within the time frame and the word length.

Analogue CMOS Integrated Circuit Design and Applications (Masters Level) (ELEC0131)

Building on what students already know in analogue electronics, this course provides the basis for those interested in following a career in analogue integrated circuit design. Key concepts in CMOS integrated electronics such as device models, current mirrors, amplifiers and opamps, biasing, voltage references and regulators, comparators and noise analysis are covered. Also, aiming to give students a hands-on experience, they are introduced to CMOS layout and actual design processes using an industry standard design suite (CADENCE) in the associated lab sessions.

This module aims to:

Provide a current, comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the principles, concepts and techniques required to design analogue integrated circuits (ICs) using CMOS technology.
	Expose students to the different methodologies used to develop such circuits, including fabrication, electrical modelling and transistor- level circuit design, advanced design and analysis tools.
	Present examples of analogue ICs for biomedical, sensor and signal conditioning systems.
After following this module students will be able to:

Have a good understanding of the design of analogue CMOS ICs.
	Understand the different issues related to the development of analogue CMOS IC including design, fabrication and implementation.
	Use tools covering the full custom design of analogue CMOS ICs.
	At the end of the course, the student should be able to successfully perform the electrical and physical design (layout) of an op-amp or circuit of similar complexity, in an industrial environment (i.e., using CADENCE IC suite).
