Overview
Global markets are demanding greater numbers of professionals with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in computing engineering, networks and performance engineering, software development, and industrial information systems applications. In particular there is a great need to produce postgraduates with in-depth knowledge and skills in the design, development, tuning and upgrading of computer, communication and software systems which meet performance objectives.
Our pioneering course will equip you to use modelling and quantitative analysis techniques to predict and evaluate performance implications of design and implementation decisions.
The techniques covered are equally applicable to careers in manufacturing, vehicle and people movement, and logistics. Within these industries, the application of performance modelling and engineering is key, and there is strong demand for graduates with strategic skills to investigate the effects of changes of operational parameters on a system’s behaviour.
