What is Embedded Intelligence? • Integration of intelligence into products, processes and services o So they work better o To increase productivity, efficiency and connectivity • Underpinned by diverse areas of expertise o Engineering o Information Management o Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology o Design and Manufacture o Computer Science • We have students from a wide range of backgrounds working together • Find out more in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_intelligence

The EPSRC CDT in Embedded Intelligence • Collaboration between Loughborough University and Heriot Watt University o 8 x schools, 45 supervisors • Loughborough (lead) – Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering – Design School Edinburgh – Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering – Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering – Centre for Information Management Loughborough – School of Science London • Heriot-Watt – Engineering and Physical Sciences – Mathematical & Computer Science • 30+ industrial, research and learning partners

The CDT Approach • 4 year PhD programme • Scholarship for UK and EU candidates o Stipend: £17k ( € 23.3k) tax free (£23k/ € 31.5k equivalent) o Fees: Completely paid • Integrates technical and personal development training (Institute of Leadership & Management) • Students are part of a cohort o Peer to peer learning and support o Multidisciplinary working

Our ‘T shaped’ Graduates • Focused technical depth and expertise from PhD The ‘Transition research Zone’ Technical Content • Exceedingly competent and conversant across PhD Research the multiple disciplines that encompass EI CDT-EI Graduate

Our ‘T shaped’ Graduates • Training will deliver effective members of multidisciplinary teams, naturally collaborative and… o Capable, comfortable and confident with: • Leading multidisciplinary teams • Negotiating and managing commercial and technical relationships with clients • Understanding of value of their intellectual capital and routes to exploitation • and, shall value and utilise their extensive network of peers and collaborators and alumni.

Research in Embedded Intelligence • This Centre address the challenges posed by technical needs ranging from o the design stage o through manufacturing of embedded or on-bedded devices o to software behind data collection o as well as integrative technologies o to finally the requirements from end-users • Five Challenge areas form the technical content • Sixth area (Application Engineering) serves as challenge convergence activity
