MJRU-CSYSE v.1 Computer Systems Engineering Major (BEng Hons)
Major/Stream Overview
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
The largest number of computer systems by far are embedded systems where the computer acts to control another, monitor it or provide it with sophisticated functionality. Once confined to areas such as microwave ovens and other consumer appliances, industrial machine and process control, instruments and so forth, now embedded systems are rapidly moving into other areas. Most modern automobiles for example, now include over 200 embedded systems for engine management, automatic braking and similar functions. There is also what is being referred to as the “Internet of things”; devices that in some way link to the Internet. This includes mobile phones, notebook computers and the like from a previous era, but is rapidly expanding to include radically new systems. Hence embedded engineering has become one of the fastest expanding professions in the world with strong demand in almost all the industrially advanced nations.
