Diploma in Embedded Firmware

BRIEF DESCRIPTION :
Microcontrollers/Microprocessors are the very heart of any embedded system as they handle and
coordinate the task(s) for which the system is designed and for them to work correctly, they must be
programmed according to the task at hand. Thus, embedded systems programming is one of the
most basic and important skills of an embedded systems engineer. 70 to 80 percent of embedded
systems is based on writing appropriate program codes for electronic circuits in order to get the
desired output. This is a course that must be done by students at the very least in order to start
exploring the domain of embedded systems. Hence, this course is designed in a fashion so that
candidates can have a clearer and deeper insight of this field besides getting strong in its
fundamentals.

Diploma In Embedded Firmware & Embedded Linux

BRIEF DESCRIPTION :
This course encompasses the fundamentals of embedded systems (basic microcontrollers, protocols
and sensors) as well as programming embedded systems in linux environment. Embedded linux is
also a very important criteria demanded of candidates by many companies in this sector. Hence,
apart from building a strong foundation in basics of embedded systems, this course also strengthens
the knowledge of linux kernel and its fundamental concepts as well as programming
microcontrollers that run on linux OS.

Diploma in Embedded Hardware Design

BRIEF DESCRIPTION :
Microprocessors/Microcontrollers are undoubtedly the heart of any embedded system and they
must be programmed to execute our desired task. However, writing a code to run a microcontroller
is pointless if there is no hardware designed to do so. All electronic components are fabricated onto
a PCB in order to create an embedded system circuit and it is a well-known fact that every electronic
equipment or appliance or product that we see, use PCB’s. Thus, embedded hardware design is
another important fundamental aspect and constitutes for 20 to 30 percent of this domain. This
course is designed to create a very strong foundation in basic analog and digital electronics along
with PCB designing using industrial grade software and the nitty-gritties of design considerations that
are involved in it.
