Electronic and Digital Systems University of Strathclyde

Overview

Why this Electronic and Digital Systems course from University of Strathclyde?

Electronic systems are important to nearly every aspect of our lives. Spectacular advances in technology, design and development allow increasing capabilities to be put into ever-smaller electronic devices.

Just think about your mobile – a smart phone that can now make calls, take and send pictures, give you ultra-fast wireless internet access wherever you are and download, play and store 1000s of albums. It may even have specialist security features like fingerprint identity sensors and voice activated operating systems. But your smartphone is much more than that. For example: 

• it can be used in sports development to monitor specific fitness parameters and help athletes improve their performance levels

• it can be used in healthcare to help with diagnosis using software to allow doctors to gather, monitor and assess clinical data while patients are at home

These are just a couple of examples that showcase the impact and relevance of electronic systems. New approaches within optical computing and nanotechnology provide the potential for even greater advances.
