CESE (pronounced /'keɪsiː/), or Computer and Embedded Systems Engineering is a master programme of the TU Delft. In it, we mix Embedded Systems with Computer Engineering. The programme consists of a broad base covering both topics, together with specialization tracks. This is the internal website with course information for students. For more information about the programme, see the TU Delft website.

Quarter 1

Software Fundamentals

A homologation course for students with an electrical engineering background, to catch up on programming (in Rust) and collaborating on programming projects.

CESE4000

Hardware Fundamentals

A homologation course for students with a computer science background, to catch up on hardware, electronics, signals, systems and control.

CESE4005

Advanced Computing Systems

This course discusses the most widely used computational platforms (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and DSPs), while addressing the theoretical and practical trade-offs.

CESE4010

Quarter 2

Software Systems

A two part course about creating and then modelling complex software systems.

CESE4015
