Students combine this with study in design and manufacturing processes to understand how modern industry works. At Bath, practical project work is central to the education experience.

Human-Machine-Interfaces (HMIs) are dashboards that act as an interface between a user and a machine or device. They are designed to present information in a graphical format about the status of a process to an operator. HMIs can be password protected to only give authorisation and access to operators with the correct security clearance. However, a growing and recurring problem has been the loss or misplacement of these critical passwords, c...

The gravity of the Covid-19 challenge has been made clear by the UK Government. The National Health Service needs thousands of ventilators and UK industry has been asked to respond to the challenge via the Ventilator Challenge UK.

Large-scale trends in the automotive embedded industry are making embedded software development more fundamental to vehicle development overall. Vehicle automation, connectivity, electrification, and shared mobility (ACES) are driving a need for remarkably sophisticated software to enable features like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), battery management, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and more.

As users of electronic devices, we can all appreciate the excitement of a new smartphone launch, the holiday availability of a new video game platform, or the introduction of a wearable device that promises to enhance our well-being in some way. Breakthrough innovations in electronics come rapidly, and we have come to expect that.  By Caren Potter and Louisa Lou, Siemens Digital Industries Software
