School of Computing

Programme specification:

The programme will provide a unique level of coverage of mobile computation, from applications to physical level communications, that goes substantially beyond what programmes based solely in a computing or an EE department can deliver. The programme provides a mixture of theoretical, laboratory and project based learning to develop the skills required for the diverse careers opportunities available to students in this area.

Programme Aims:

At the end of the programme students should be able to demonstrate:

- An understanding of the application domains of mobile platforms and related development issues;
- An understanding of current and emerging wireless and mobile technologies;
- A systematic understanding of the theory and practice of design and development of content for mobile platforms;
- A systematic understanding of the principles of sensor and mobile ad hoc networks, and their impact on protocol design;
- Proficiency in the technical and programming skills required to design and implement software on mobile platforms;
- Proficiency in developing efficient protocols for sensor and mobile networks;
- The ability to apply the knowledge and skills to tackle a significant problem in Mobile Computing within the main project;
- Be confident in applying the research methodology adopted for the main project to new engineering problems;
- Be prepared for further study either in the context of professional development or through further engagement in higher education.
