Course Description

Embedded systems can be found in almost every aspect of modern life. For example, every time you look at your watch, answer the phone, take a picture, or turn on the TV, you interact with an embedded system. Moreover, embedded systems are also located in cars, airplanes, and robots. Therefore, designing and programming embedded systems is an important skill required for many industrial and scientific jobs.

This course will teach you to embedded system design, interfacing, configuration, and programming fundamentals.  To apply the techniques learned in the classroom, we will use the Arduino UNO platform, a low-cost and popular embedded system used by researchers, hobbyists, and in industry.  At the end of the training, you will have learned the basics of embedded system design and programming, which you can readily produce for your students. Additionally, this course can assist you in preparing for creative professions in business and research.

We aim to provide the trainees with an understanding of simple circuit diagram building and programming logic. Since practical circuit diagram building examples are on the breadboard, the program will be written and run on the Arduino UNO.
