Presentation
The ATHENA partners University of Siegen, Germany and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Lithuania, (VILNIUS TECH) offer an international Master's programme with a double degree in Electrical Engineering. The program is designed as a full-time single-subject degree program. Enrolment takes place in the winter semester. When enrolling, students can decide for the double degree option in Electrical Engineering and choose a specialisation field at the partner university to be studied in the third and fourth semester.s the double degree option.
Main Objective
The Master's programme is aimed at outstanding students (from all over the world) who have a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and can demonstrate language skills at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Interested students undergo a selection process in which the best 3 - 5 students per year are selected. The selection process will consider the grades of the Bachelor´s Programme, and the performance during the first semester.
Competencies
The Master's degree programme in Electronics Engineering is designed:
- to learn the basics of sciences and mathematics;
- to identify, find and assess data required for engineering work in the databases and other sources of information;
- to plan and perform analytical, simulation and experimental research using new problem solving methods;
- to foresee and deal with standard and non-standard engineering problems of of advanced electronics design;
- to predict and solve standard and non-standard engineering problems of computerized electronic systems.
- to understand, design, develop and apply knowledge on smart systems and data processing for large data infrastructures
- to learn about different paradigms and design principles for embedded systems
• describe requirements, paradigms, concepts, platforms and models of embedded systems.
• explain nonfunctional requirements of embedded systems.
• describe and apply concepts and methods for real time and fault tolerance
Learning Outcomes
The students will:
• Acquire knowledge about intelligent systems, their composition and working principles based on artificial neural networks, evolutional algorithms or fuzzy logic, is acquired.
