Description
The interaction between computer science (software)and electrical engineering (hardware) requires an integrated approach. You'll have to draw on knowledge of both software and hardware.
The emphasis in the Master's degree program is placed on the design of efficient and reliable systems. As a graduate of this program you will combine a scientific attitude with an engineer's approach. Defining reliable protocols for the behavior of complex software systems requires a knowledge of algorithms, performance, hardware, and design and documentation methods. You will also need an understanding in the variability and maintainability of these protocols. All these aspects can be found in the compulsory part of the Master's program. The combination of a scientific attitude with the practical approach of an engineer forms an excellent basis for an interesting career. The numerous fields in which embedded systems are applied ensure a wide range of career opportunities. You can follow a career in research laboratories, software houses and multinationals. Most graduates start with positions as members of embedded system design teams, but many of them rapidly grow into positions as team leaders and, in time, to management functions. Starting up your own company is also among the options.
