There is an industry need for trained engineers in electronics systems as further growth is strived for within the UK, as delineated in the recently published “Electronics Systems: Challenges and Opportunities” (ESCO Report). This report has brought industry leaders and government together to deliver ambitious growth targets that by 2020 will see a further 150,000 people employed in electronic systems, such as those this CDT aims to provide. The report states that the critical shortages in highly trained and skilled employees can be addressed in part by the provision of Centres of Doctoral Training (CDTs) to fund and train PhD students.
