At a very fundamental level, the increasing speed at which we can acquire,interpret, and take action based on information impacts on many of the changes weare observing in the modern world. Much of this increased speed is due to advancesin Electronic Engineering. Advances in automation and control enable factories toreconfigure their production lines to respond to market driven changes in products.Advances in networking, communication, photonics and display technologies increasethe speed at which information can be transmitted around the world as well as thenumber of ways we can access that information. Advances in signal processing andpattern recognition enable computers to automatically inspect the quality of productionlines, respond to natural human input, or improve medical diagnostic technology.Powering these technologies are advances in chip design and computer architecture.Indeed, technology is advancing across a broad front of areas at such a rapid pacethat even recent degree holders find their knowledge base fast becoming obsolete.The Master of Science (MSc) program in Electronic Engineering brings studentsup-to-date in state-of-the-art technologies which are changing the way we work andinteract in an increasingly interconnected world.
