The goal of this program is to prepare students with a comprehensive understanding of the hardware and software technologies in ICTES, with in-depth knowledge of embedded systems in VLSI designs and embedded software development, as well as broad knowledge of their applications in communications, networking, signal processing, human interface, artificial intelligence, etc. Students will also experience the actual development of embedded systems using the state-of-the-art CAD tools for both hardware (VLSI) and software in “Embedded Systems Design Exercise Class”. Here, students will work in teams to also learn about project management, product planning and marketing aspects of the embedded systems development. M. Eng. Program in ICTES welcomes full-time students as well as part-time students from the industry, both of which will greatly benefit from the unique learning environment which this program is designed to provide. Furthermore, the graduates of this program can further pursue a doctoral study at Thai universities or at Tokyo Institute of Technology. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the fastest growing sector in the economy with a 70% increase in growth rate projected between 2002 and 2012. However, there is an enormous shortage of ICTES engineers, especially in the area of embedded systems, and this trend will continue to grow with the coming of the “ubiquitous society” in a global scale. The M. Eng. Program in Information and Communication Technology, therefore, has been established to offer an outstanding and state-of-the-art education in both theoretical and practical areas in ICTES with a strong focus on embedded systems. It is expected that all Thai graduates of the M. Eng. Program in ICTES acquire the necessary skills to be the leaders in Thailand’s electronics industry, and also to be highly competitive in the fast-growing global embedded systems market.
