An outbound, one-semester undergraduate mobility course for Level 2 Engineering students from the University of Glasgow (UofG) to Glasgow College UESTC (GC-UESTC) in Chengdu or Hainan, China.

Classes taken in UESTC China according to the timetable delivered by Glasgow College UESTC.

For students carrying out the mobility programme from Electronics & Electrical Engineering degrees, the following courses will be taken :

UESTC2005 Fundamentals of Analogue Circuits

UESTC2001 Application & Design of Digital Logic

UESTC2004 Embedded Processors

UESTC4002 Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Technology

Chinese language and culture

Mandatory Entry Requirements

Successful completion of Year 1 studies. 

Recommended Entry Requirements

Successful completion of Semester 1 of Year 2.

For students carrying out the mobility programme from Electronics & Electrical Engineering degrees :

ENG2004: Analogue Electronics 2

ENG2029: Embedded Processors 2

ENG2031: Engineering Electromagnetics 2

For students carrying out the mobility programme from Electronics & Electrical Engineering degrees :

ENG2020: Digital Electronics 2

ENG2023: Electronic Circuits 2

ENG2025: Electronic Design Project 2

ENG2026: Electronic Devices 2 (Partial)

ENG2045: Power Electronics 2

ENG2083: Introductory Programming 2

ENG2086: Engineering Mathematics 2

Typically all level 2 courses delivered will consist of :

Examination: 75%

Continuous Assessment: 25% (normally in the form of lab reports, but with some quizzes and set exercises)

To provide a distinctive, academically rigorous, and globally immersive student experience, which also allows students to fulfil the intended learning outcomes attained by peers whose degree is solely carried out on the Glasgow campus. This is done through collaboration with UESTC, China, a high-performing joint institution, via Glasgow College UESTC.

By the end of this course students will have attained those technical learning outcomes consistent with degree progression on the Glasgow Campus, due to the choice of courses notes in 13.

By the end of this course, students will additionally be able to :

■ summarise skills and perspectives needed to thrive in the global engineering landscape, through exposure to Chinese academic engineering practices, technologies, and innovation practices;

■ contrast Chinese culture, language, and society with that of the UK, through local Chinese community interaction and a Chinese Culture course;

■ explain how they have developed greater resilience, adaptability, and intercultural communication skills through their experiences, and how these developments can make them better future engineers in a globalised workforce.

Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment. In cases where the assessment comprises more than 75% of the course weighting (for example, 100% weighting dissertation), students must submit this assessment in order to meet the minimum requirement for the award of credit.
