Embedded Systems

This English-language Master's course of study provides a world-class education with a focus on embedded systems. The aim here is to develop intelligent systems solutions by combining microsystems technologies, information and communication technologies, and software development. Foundational knowledge is established through the following general compulsory modules: Digital Components and Architectures for Data Processing Digital Signal Processing 1 Computer Vision 1 Smart Sensor Systems Project Lab Embedded Systems Design of Software for Embedded Systems Real Time Systems Design of Digital Systems Hardware/Software Co-design 1 Built on these compulsory subjects, the programme offers various opportunities for further specialisation in the fields of System Design, Automotive Systems, Signal Processing, and Embedded Systems as well as additional non-technical subjects. Depending on the availability, the study programme offers the opportunity to do a research project at the university or a research internship. Compulsory subjects — 47 CP: Digital Components and Architectures for Data Processing (semester 1, seminar) Digital Signal Processing 1 (semester 1, lecture/seminar) Computer Vision 1 (semester 1, lecture/seminar) Smart Sensor Systems (semester 1, lecture/seminar/lab) Project Lab Embedded Systems (semester 2, seminar) Design of Software for Embedded Systems (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Real Time Systems (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Design of Digital Systems (semester 1, lecture/seminar/lab) Hardware/Software Co-design 1 (semester 1, lecture/seminar) Elective subjects: Students have to pass subjects from the following catalogue: Field of Systems Design: Verification of Digital Systems (semester 2, seminar/lab) Design of Heterogeneous Systems (semester 2, lecture/seminar/lab) Test of Digital and Mixed-Signal Circuits (semester 1, lecture/seminar) Applied Circuit Design (semester 3, seminar/lab) Field of Automotive Systems: Automotive Sensor Systems (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Advanced Platforms for Automotive Systems (semester 3, lecture/seminar) Field of Signal Processing: Multisensorial Systems (semesters 1 & 2, lecture/lab) Mobile Localisation and Navigation (semester 3, lecture/seminar) Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (semesters 2 & 3, lecture/lab)  Digital Signal Processing 2 (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Computer Vision 2 (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Video Signal Processing (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Programming and Data Analysis (semester 2, lecture/seminar) Antenna Engineering (semester 2, lecture/seminar/lab) Next Generation Internet (semesters 1 & 2, lecture) Advanced Mobile Networks (semesters 1 & 2, lecture/seminar) Field of Embedded Systems: Advanced Embedded Systems (semester 1, lecture/seminar) Further elective subjects in non-technical field: Optimisation for Non-Mathematicians (semester 3, lecture/seminar) Resource Efficiency from an Economic Perspective (semester 3, lecture/seminar) Communication and Leadership (either semester 1, 2, or 3, seminar) Elective modules in research and internship: (Students can choose a maximum of one of these two options.)
