• Must be able to understand and analyse various embedded systems
• Must be able to understand and analyse scheduling and guaranties on deadlines for embedded systems

Competences

• Must be able to handle real time embedded systems and laboratory setups in study- or work-related contexts
• Must be able to independently engage in professional and interdisciplinary collaboration with a professional approach within the context of real time embedded systems
• Must be able to identify his/her own learning needs within the real time systems including the embedded systems and structure such learning accordingly.

Type of instruction

The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine skills and reflection:

• Lectures
• Classroom instruction
• Project work
• Workshops
• Exercises (individually and in groups)
• Teacher feedback
• Reflection
• Portfolio work
