It offers a range of options of immediate relevance to industry at large, and is excellent preparation for those wishing to engage in research. The topics covered include embedded system design, software engineering, data communications, signal and image processing and embedded control systems. The course concludes with a major project and dissertation. The programme will enable students to develop detailed knowledge and critical understanding of the core skills in embedded systems and to develop and use a significant range of specialist skills, techniques and practices in embedded systems. By the end of the programme, students will be able to apply this knowledge directly to complex applications, critically review existing practice, and to develop original and creative solutions to problems within the domain. Students will work with peers and academic staff on a variety of tasks, demonstrating appropriate levels of autonomy and responsibility. They will ultimately be able to plan and execute a significant project of research, investigation or development in a specialist area within embedded systems to demonstrate extensive, detailed and critical understanding of that specialism.
