Embedded Systems (64 Hours)

What's the course about

Embedded systems are computers (or microprocessors) that are enclosed ("embedded") in customized hardware. These computers have dedicated functions within a larger mechanical or electrical system and are embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as components of embedded systems.

Embedded systems are based on different types of architectures such as: simple control loop, interrupt-controlled system, cooperative multitasking, preemptive multitasking, microkernels, and monolithic kernels.

Course objectives

The course focuses on the hardware as well as the software knowledge of the embedded system, and helps them build the skills required to develop 8bit/32 bit microcontrollers based on embedded system. It equips students to develop designing ability at system level development of the embedded system, and developing the approaches to master specific method or task through integrated projects.
