In all aspects of our lives, in our homes, the work place, our car, even our bodies, we are increasingly interacting with embedded sensing, computing and communicating devices, which are monitoring and controlling our environment. This Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Engineering in embedded system design course positions you at the forefront of these continuing innovations.

The Internet of Everything is now a reality, and the applications for embedded systems are increasing daily across medicine, the car industry, navigation, telecommunications, financial services, automation and avionics. Embedded systems designers are involved in all aspects of developing such systems (both software and hardware), and the design and prototyping, manufacture, commissioning and maintenance.

This programme covers the broad spectrum of topics relating to Embedded System Design: VHDL and digital design principles, wireless communications, embedded operating systems, embedded C programming, internet communications and applications using wireless devices.

Practical work includes the design and implementation of hardware, software and integrated systems, and the use of software packages for design and analysis. You will be able to analyse problems, develop solutions and implement solutions on several embedded systems platforms.
