Description including Unit Aims

The basics of embedded systems are covered in unit EENG34030. That unit ends with the unanswered question of system design, validation, or verification, and testing: what methods are used to do this, what are the principles of these methods, and how are they used. The learning outcomes of this unit are focussed on the principles and methodology of the application to embedded systems of state-of-the-art design approaches in an electrical engineering context, based on real problems and contemporary solutions. It is expected that students will benefit from the transferable skills acquired during their study.
