M. Tech. (EST) is a two year Programme. This programme encourages students to devise their individualized plan of study by selecting courses of their choice from Specialization, Domain Elective and Open Elective Courses besides Core Courses.
The aim of this programme is to expertise students in the field of Embedded Systems. An Embedded System is simply a combination of computer hardware and software, either fixed in operability or programmable, which is designed to perform a specific function. It is called an embedded system because it is embedded in a much complex device to control, enhance or assist the operation of that device. Embedded Systems are an integral part of lifestyle today. From mobile phones to automobiles, industrial equipment, to high end medical devices, home appliances etc. Embedded software is the centre of all the technologies. The growth of different industry sectors like automotive, telecommunications, aerospace, energy, industrial units, biomedical equipment, consumer goods is highly contributed by the development in the field of Embedded Systems.
This course offers strong knowledge in the embedded system design by covering thrust areas such as Advanced Embedded Microcontrollers, Real Time Embedded Systems, Advanced Embedded System Design and System On Chip.
Choice Based Credit System (CBCS):
Amity University offers the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in its academic curriculum, in its endeavor to provide quality education. Under this new system the students can register for courses according to their interests and academic abilities. CBCS allows students to decide their academic plan and permits them to alter it, if required, in their academic progression in pursuit of degree.
Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) offers a flexible system of learning. The system permits student to:
- Choose electives from a wide range of courses
- Undergo additional courses and acquire more than required number of credits
- Adopt an interdisciplinary approach in learning
- Enhance skill/employability by taking up project work, entrepreneurship and vocational training.
- Choice in the timings / time slots in the selection of courses.
- Choice in the selection of number of courses per semester.
- Choice of preparing his / her own Time-table, programme structure and academic plan as per model framework.
- Ample opportunities to do inter-disciplinary courses.
