Master’s Degree Program Digital Intelligent Control Systems

The Master's Program "Digital Intelligent Control Systems" is offered by the School of Space and Information Technologies of the Siberian Federal University. The Program provides training in developing embedded intelligent control systems based on modern microprocessors, microcontrollers and programmable integrated circuits (FPGA, PLD, SoC). During the training, students receive skills that allow graduates to perform the full cycle of developing intelligent embedded control systems at a high professional level.

The master's program "Digital Intelligent Control Systems" is aimed at teaching students methods of developing control systems using modern electronic components and artificial intelligence technologies.

• acquaint students with the basic concepts and terminology in the field of digital intelligent control systems;
• introduce students to modern approaches to developing intelligent control systems based on neural networks, genetic algorithms, intelligent agents, ets.;
• provide insight into modern FPGA architecture and FPGA-based design flow, including testing, simulation and verification.
• teach students to use hardware description language and computer aided tools for designing FPGA/PLD-based digital control units;
• familiarize students with principles of organizing data exchange between the microcontroller and memory, sensors, peripheral devices using standard interfaces, serial and parallel data exchange;
• provide an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the framework of separate disciplines, in a package during the implementation of the Final project;
• give students theoretical knowledge and practical experience in project management, language skills in professional communications, and other soft skills contributing to successful labor market promotion.
