Learning Outcomes

- The student can specialise the studies in software or computer systems, or sensor-based context awareness.
- Students in software specialisation will have
- a good understanding of software engineering
- the ability to design and implement software systems
- ability to manage and improve software development processes
- the ability to understand, design, and implement concurrent, parallel, and distributed systems.
- Students in computer systems will have:
- the ability to designing digital systems, including
application-specific circuits, processors, embedded systems, and systems-on-chip
- understanding on the functionality of digital and computer systems
- ability to design new equipment using modern methods and design tools
- the ability to understand, design, and implement concurrent, parallel, and distributed systems.
- Students in sensor-based context awareness will have:
- good understanding on MEMS sensor measurements and error sources
- the ability to use sensor data to improve positioning and navigation accuracy
- ability to design context aware features for location-based services
