Electronic Engineering Level 8 (Add-On)
Course Description:
Electronic Engineering at Level 8 investigates platforms for implementing advanced embedded systems. Typical platforms are 32-bit RISC processors, DSPs, FPGAs and Configurable System on Chip technology. These platforms may also incorporate the use of a Real Time Operating System (RTOS). An important application area for advanced embedded systems is audio and image processing.
This programme is an add-on year to any Level 7 Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Electronic Engineering.
Subject areas are as follows,
- Digital Signal Processing
- Mathematics, Nanotechnology
- Electronics, Operating Systems Programming
- Advanced Embedded Systems
- Operations Management
- Programmable Logic Technology
- Project – Electronic Engineering.
Key Skills:
Having completed the programme, you will be able to:
- Program a 32-bit RISC Microcontroller and interface it to the real world.
- Use software and hardware tools to process signals digitally.
- Program and configure Operating Systems.
