This programme provides high quality instruction and skills in four different specialisation options. The degree offers a solid basis to work as an engineer anywhere in the world and have an international career in various areas of information and communications technologies.
The student will be linked to working-life throughout their studies via industry –related projects, industrial placement periods and a Final Year Project. This gives a chance to create useful networks and plan future career whilst studying.
Fields of Spesialisation
Communications and Data Networks
The main study and education areas in the this major option are related to different telecommunication technologies. Telecommunication's laboratory covers Internet technology and mobile communications widely. For Internet activities, the laboratory has independent study and simulation network containing all essential working components such as routers, hubs and switches. This network allows network installation, configuration and management actions that could not be carried out in an operational network. The laboratory for the mobile communications provides extensive set of computer aided environments for education and evaluation of cellular network operation.
Embedded Engineering
Embedded engineering provides tools to interface real world events with virtual, computerized world. The objective of this specialisation option is to provide a solid understanding on how electronic devices operate. Successful student will learn the electronics fundamentals, low-level programming of microcontrollers, and how the hardware interacts with high-level user interfaces. Typically embedded engineering students will be working in product development teams.
Information Systems
In Information Systems you will learn different planning and implementation methods that are used in the modern data processing technology. Information systems module enables you to plan information systems for the existing products in the market. You can combine studies from industrial engineering and management and business studies in your specialisation module and head for tasks in sales engineering. Or you might want to work for example in the areas of internet programming and web applications.
Software Engineering
True software professionals are in great demand in the ICT industry. To become a good software professional, you have to master various interesting areas of computer engineering such as basic principles of computer hardware and telecommunications. Software development itself is a very versatile and captivating process and it consists of many phases such as systems and requirement analysis, design of the computer system, design of the architecture of the software, programming, testing, commissioning and maintenance.
Application instructions will be published by October 2010.
