22.4.2016 (subject to change)
Please note, that you can only choose courses from one specific International Semester at a time. For example if you
choose courses from the Embedded Systems Semester, you cannot at the same time take courses that are listed
under the ICT Projects & Cybersecurity Semester. In addition as you are nominated as an ICT student, you cannot
choose international semesters (=modules) or courses from any other faculty or unit than ICT Unit.
Possible semesters from which you can choose in the ICT Unit are:
1. Embedded Systems Semester or
2. Electronics Semester or
3. ICT Projects & Cybersecurity Semester.
Embedded Systems Semester
Description
The Embedded Systems semester focus on software development for microchip controlled
devices. The course contents contain programming embedded devices using C
programming language. After completing the semester, you are able to design embedded
software for standard processor peripherals such as timers, serial controllers and I/O ports.
The semester includes several project assignments.
It is possible to join the semester only for the autumn part, or for a full academic year.
Prerequisites
Fundamental skills in Mathematics, Computer architecture and Programming. The
semester courses are mainly 3rd year ICT engineering (B.Eng.) courses.
