Embedded Systems
The Embedded Systems Masters track teaches you how to design and implement smart distributed systems that are low cost, energy efficient and can solve tasks cooperatively. You will learn to design and implement architectures for distributed embedded systems, innovation services and advanced algorithms to solve complex tasks. You will also learn to model and validate complex non-linear systems with multiple inputs and outputs using UML and/or SysML, black box modelling and system identification. And you will learn how to create a digital feedback controller for a linear physical system and to apply control strategies.

In this Masters course, you will focus on becoming an authority on modelling and smart distributed Systems. You will learn to design and implement architectures for distributed embedded systems, innovation services and advanced algorithms to solve complex tasks. Students will learn to model and validate complex non-linear systems with multiple inputs and outputs using UML and/or SysML, black box modelling and system identification. Students will learn how to create a digital feedback controller for a linear physical system and to apply control strategies. You will learn to model and validate systems with multiple inputs and outputs using both white box modelling and system identification. You focus on control applications used in industry.
Overview
The course consists of:
- lectures
- individual and group assignments
- experimental research and laboratory exercises
- model development and simulation exercises
- group cases
- minor projects
- a major project including a management game
Teaching methods and specialisation
The academic year comprises of semesters, during which you will be taught by means of lectures, lab sessions and minor projects. After the teaching component of the course, you will do a graduation project (thesis). The total study load is 2520 hours (90 ECTS credits). The courses are thematically grouped into study units of 15 EC each called modules. When you follow a module in a typical week you first have a lecture to gain theoretical knowledge, then you get practical experience by applying the gained knowledge in labs, continuing by using both theoretical and practical experience in solving a problem from industry in a minor project. The minor projects allow you to specialize in relevant topics.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų (kokio balo reikalauja tavo pasirinkta programa rasi prie programos stojimo reikalavimų):
- IELTS
- TOEFL
Relevant Bachelors degree
- TOEFL score 550 or higher
- IELTS score 6.5 or higher
- Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English
- Cambridge Certficate of Proficiency in English
Profession
As an embedded systems engineer you are involved in the design, development, production an evaluation of all kind of intelligent systems and smart devices. You also possess valuable skills in applied research and project management.
Your future
As a graduate of the Mastertrack in Embedded Systems you develop innovative electronic products using microcontrollers. They often work in a team with other engineers and people from other disciplines. Using customer requirements and specifications, the embedded software/hardware developer develops the electronic hardware and software that make up a high-tech product. The content of this Master’s programme is based on our constant interactions with our industrial partners and our applied research focuses on their needs and interests.
