Focus area Embedded Systems

" "

This specialisation is aimed at computer scientists and electronic engineers who wish to work in the fast-growing area of embedded software systems and sensor technology.

Embedded Systems are computers that control technical devices, such as washing machines or vehicles. They include mobile applications, which enable the development of new social networks with innovative modes of contact. In energy and medical technology, as well as in biological and scientific research, the complex embedded systems and sensor technology merge to form Cyber Physical Systems.

Engineers working in this field

  • design regulatory systems for more efficient energy use 
  • develop control systems for traffic and power stations
  • implement mobile medical monitoring systems
  • develop telematic and control applications
