Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Ability to use the existing fault-tolerant and real-time computing literature.

02. Ability to describe, explain, generalize, classify, adapt and assess techniques, which are currently available for designing and analysing reliable fault-tolerant and real-time computer systems.

03. Ability to outline the methodologies that are available to combat system failures caused by hardware and/or software.

04. Ability to recognise dependability analysis techniques, which can be used to verify that a system has met its requirements.

05. Ability to discuss and explain the design fundamentals of a leading commercial real-time, fault-tolerant system.

06. Ability to identify the possible risks and ethical and social considerations relevant to designing a critical fault-tolerant system.
