Today’s embedded systems development ranges from microprocessor-based control systems, to system-on-chip (SoC) design, to device software development. A myriad of implementations can be found in consumer electronics, medical devices, and commercial and military applications.
This certificate program looks at embedded systems engineering as a synergistic function between hardware and software device design and development. Participants learn the essential concepts of embedded systems development through a practical, hands-on approach utilizing industry design automation (EDA) tools and design kits.
Who Should Attend
Working professionals who are interested in transitioning into the Embedded Systems/System-on-Chip (SoC) industry. Hardware/software engineers, computer engineers, communications and networking engineers, control systems engineers, and other technical professionals involved in embedded systems design and development.
