Course Description
The course in Embedded Systems Design seeks to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake the design and implementation of embedded systems. Students will gain knowledge of real-time software requirements and signal processing techniques, the electronic hardware upon which such software runs, along with the skills required to manage the complex processes involved in the design of state-of-the-art embedded systems. The use of industry standard tools and techniques within the programme provides the student with desirable skills that are such sought after by employers and as the number of embedded systems continues to grow there is considerable worldwide demand for engineers with the skills to design and develop embedded systems successfully. The programme is designed to be attractive to both graduates and industrial organisations with staff who wish to undertake further study and/or Continual Professional Development (CPD) studies within embedded systems. Such CPD study may be taken on a part-time basis, or through specific attendance on individual or selected MSc modules to allow updating of specific skills. It is also intended that this MSc will meet the educational requirements for Chartered Engineers as specified by the UK-SPEC issued by the professional engineering bodies. The programme provides students the opportunity to develop a balance of practical and theoretical skills relating to the design of embedded systems and their implementation and is equally suited both for newly qualified engineers and for current practising engineers seeking to update and extend their knowledge.
