CycleAR: Exploring Augmented Reality for Safer and More Immersive Cycling Experiences Cycling in urban environments can often be intimidating, particularly in areas with dense traffic and limited cycling infrastructure. The CycleAR project, currently under development within the Department of Systems and Control Engineering at the University of Malta, aims to explore how augmented re...

Prof. Ing. Marvin Bugeja recently visited the University of Melbourne’s Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering as a Guest Academic, following an invitation from Prof. Iman Shames. During his two-week stay in March, Prof. Bugeja delivered a seminar introducing the University of Malta and the Department of Systems and Control Engineering (SCE), alongside a technical presentation on dual adaptive control with applications to mobile robotics and beyond. Additionally, he held research meetings with faculty members to discuss shared interests and projects, met with students, and explored the university's educational programmes to foster future academic and research collaboration.

NOMOCRAT: New Open Maltese OCR Annotated Text A corpus is a large collection of text that is used for studying how language is used (for example word frequencies) and for training computers to generate text. Lots of different sources of text are used such as books, PDFs, news articles, websites, and blogs, but ideally the digital plain text sho...

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Malta is currently carrying out a review of the Electrical & Electronic Engineering degree programme 📝🔎

As part of this process, the Faculty is conducting a trend analysis of graduate destinations to better understand how the programme supports its graduates in their careers.

Graduates of the programme are kindly invited to complete this short survey: https://tally.so/r/KYBL9g

Our Department is always pleased to collaborate on projects like this and to support the initiatives of schools, teachers, and students. Congratulations to everyone involved in the Clear the Air project—we are proud to have contributed to this important initiative.

On the 2nd of April, members of the Department of Systems and Control Engineering—joined by their ever-suspicious collaborators from the Centre of Biomedical Cybernetics—took full advantage of the “terrible” weather conditions to graciously abandon the HOD’s carefully planned team-building activities.

Instead, they turned their attention to something far more pressing: solving the 30-year-old murder case of Lena Cross.

After intense investigation, dramatic accusations, and probably a bit too much enthusiasm… the culprit was revealed to be none other than Emma Dawson.

Justice has been served.

Emma Dawson’s sentence? A lifetime of hard-labour where her sole responsibility is to dutifully and professionally dampen the hopes of any department daring to plan team-building activities.
