MF2063 Embedded Systems Design Project

This course IL2206 Embedded Systems

The course focuses on product development of embedded systems in industrially relevant design projects. The ability to create embedded systems is primarily created by developing knowledge and skills in subjects such as software engineering, real-time programming, electronics engineering and distributed systems, complemented by application domain specific skills such as motion control, signal processing and human-machine interfaces.

The course is based on problem based learning and work in large projects, where the ability to engage in professional development while developing cooperation, communication and project management is practiced.

In the learning environment, team formation, teamwork and industrial collaboration are an integrated part. The student teams work in collaboration with industrial representatives to determine the specific factors that govern product requirements, design and realization. They focus on product-needs, design requirements, performance requirements and testing and validation.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• identify, compare and critically assess aspects of an engineering problem, towards making design decisions.
• use professional tools and processes necessary for the development of embedded systems.
• learn to get organised, manage, lead and become part of a cross technical and complex development project.
• working through all aspects of an engineering development process;
• designing and implementing prototypes.
• apply a fundamental test process;
• apply a requirements management method with considerations taken to the life-cycle concerns of embedded systems based products.
