Description :  

The specific objectives of the course:

  • To introduce students to the fundamental engineering principles essential to the design and implementation of modern embedded systems. What are they, where are they, and how are they used;
  • To learn the Linux operating system and to understand why it is the operating system of choice for many types of embedded systems;
  • To introduce the fundamentals of integration, control, and communications between analog and digital electronics and sophisticated single board computers;
  • To provide a hands-on design experience involving the interaction of hardware and software including sensors and actuators using C/C++ and Python;
  • To introduce the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications through a semester project focused on the design and development of a distributed sensor application.
