delivering smarter products and systems to industry

We engaged with industry for the design and delivery of our training programme. This was an opportunity to establish a strong foundation upon which to build industrially relevant impact and high quality PhD training.

We contributed to a diverse range of industrial sectors in several ways:

• CDT-EI delivered to industry graduates of breadth in both technical and commercial experience with excellence in their individual chosen fields of research. These researchers were members of the community of practice of the UK's Embedded Entelligence practitioners, technologists and business leaders in this field;
• Our application-led research elements impacted across a diverse range of sectors. Our co-sponsoring Industrial partners included companies across the entire supply chain, design, manufacturing and service companies;
• The research outcomes in the point-technology solutions and applications-related activities from our researchers benefitted our industrial collaborators directly, by increased yield, performance, resilience and novel solutions for the products and processes that the researchers worked on during their studies. 

training the engineering leaders of tomorrow

The aim of the Centre was to graduate well-trained, commercially aware, industrially experienced professionals. Our contribution was to help alleviate the shortage of skilled engineers required for supporting the future of embedded technologies and applications (e.g., products & processes).

Our cohort approach to education in Embedded Intelligence pioneered the development of individuals with a deep knowledge of their own specialism whilst having an understanding of the challenges encountered across the different disciplines and research areas that underpin embedded intelligence.

For the Universities, this CDT further strengthened and broadened their expertise in Embedded Intelligence enabling technologies and applications-led research, extending and improving their industrial collaboration opportunities.

The general public will be beneficiaries of this CDT ultimately. By developing people with the right skills, more reliable and trackable products can be created and realised. The end-users will benefit from more cost-efficient, intelligent and reliable products.
