(SCTP) Certificate in Electronics
About This Course
Singapore has a growing and vibrant electronics industry that generated more than $131 billion of output in 2020, accounting for about 8.4% of Singapore’s GDP. The sector is made up of companies with key activities in semiconductor, consumer electronics and information technology. Other niche areas include encryption technology, integrated circuit design, satellite communications, autonomous vehicle, and wireless technology. This SCTP programme will produce Electronics Engineer / Computer Engineer to address the manpower need and skill gap in the electronics sector.
The 12-month certification programme consists of 3 courses:
• Computer Communications lays down the fundamental understanding of the ways and methods computers used to communicate with one another and within networks, even though the computers may be made from different hardware technologies and run on diverse software platforms.
• Machine Learning introduces machine learning, covering both supervised and unsupervised algorithms.
• Capstone Electronics Project requires the analysis and synthesis of problems in the disciplines of electronics engineering and application of the various principles learnt to solve practical electronics design problems in an academic manner under the supervision of a project tutor.
What You'll Learn
Essential data communication will be covered and also in a bigger picture the basic mechanisms of computer communication within a local area network and internetworks will be taught. There will be also laboratory activities and a mini-project to enhance the understanding of the concepts and encourage hands-on application.
The programme also requires students to analyze and synthesize problems in the disciplines of electronics engineering and application of the various principles learnt to solve practical electronics design problems.
