Fundamentals of Embedded Systems Design and Programming

Program Notice: The Embedded Systems Engineering certificate program will be discontinued after Fall 2025. This is the final quarter this course will be offered. The program is no longer accepting new students.

Gain an overview of embedded systems applications and design procedures, and learn how to plan and execute complete embedded systems designs that are cost-effective and competitive. You will gain the knowledge needed to determine and document system requirements for new designs as well as for improving existing systems. In addition you will learn analysis techniques for optimizing system specifications as well as selecting microcontrollers for specific designs. Hands-on development is facilitated with the XMEGA-A3BU embedded system development kit.
