314677 v.1 Embedded Systems Stream
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.
Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of intelligent devices which have inbuilt or 'embedded' computers. Embedded systems are computers with specialised input/output devices that may, or may not be programmed by the end user. Some embedded systems can connect to the internet and access all its information, typical examples are smart phones and tablets. In this stream students will study intermediate and advanced topics in embedded systems, for example, embedded systems in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and embedded software engineering. During their one-year project students have the opportunity to further investigate and apply emergent technologies in embedded systems.
