You’ll become an independent engineering researcher and use your skills to create your own sensing system or software tool.

Embedded Systems

Embedded Systems today form the largest percentage of computer systems in service. They are greater in number than all other types of computer systems put together. Almost all moderately intelligent devices we use or rely upon, from domestic appliances to mobile telephones, motor vehicles, most automated consumer products, dispensers and toys, contain one or more microcontroller devices. These embedded systems are mostly not seen, tucked away in often unreachable and environmentally unfriendly locations. They are often expected to function for long periods of time, for example many years, without fault, attention or maintenance. As a result, they demand some unique engineering requirements. This module explores the principles of embedded systems as essential tools for enabling many other advanced technologies which can be seen or experienced every day. You will be introduced to the basics of the hardware and software unique to microcontrollers as core components of embedded systems. You will program a microcontroller and apply this skill to communicate with or control external devices.

Internet Security equips you with an in-depth understanding of the principles of computer, network and application security. The module outlines the key vulnerabilities of a networked computer system and related applications and introduces you to essential defence tools and approaches. While society depends increasingly on computer systems, the systems are accessible from intranets and the internet, thereby increasing the risk to system integrity. A sound understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities of a system, as well as the associated preventative and recovery measures, is essential for information systems professionals. This module will develop your analytical and evaluative skills when working in a complex and unpredictable systems environment. You will develop the expertise to define an appropriate level of security to meet the needs of a network owner.

Module code: CIS3423

The module explores the key activities undertaken in IT management roles. You will gain an insight into the operational and strategic steps needed to develop an IT strategy. This will include developing your awareness of the need for a tactical and operational view of IT systems and the services of internal and external stakeholders. The module will cover everything from the selection and implementation of IT systems to relevant legal, ethical and security considerations which all feed into an effective IT strategy.

Module code: CIS3402
