Course Content

Most smart embedded systems are built around a System on a Programmable Chip or small operating system and include smart technologies like image recognition or sensor fusing. In this minor you learn the basics of building these systems and how to make them smarter. We focus on new technologies in loT and Security, but also give a solid understanding of Vision, operating systems and FPGA’ s.

The exchange programme runs over two consecutive terms and consists of practical and theory modules besides a big project. Depending on already followed courses and previous knowledge (tested with assessment if needed) you may choose your optional courses besides the obligatory project and embedded systems course. Total credits must be at least 30 ECTS in total. 

Courses obligatory (20 ec)

  • Project (15 ec)
  • Embedded Systems (5 ec)

Courses optional (at least 10 ec)

  • Security and IoT (5 ec)
  • Embedded Vision (5 ec)
  • Functional Hardware Design (5 ec)
  • Signal Processing (5 ec)

This exchange programme is allowed only for full-time students of:

  • Applied Computer Science
  • Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EIE)
  • Mechatronics

You must have passed at least 45 credits of the second year. Students from Software Engineering studies are only allowed after an entrance test.
