The Real Time course is the flagship program of the company and one of the most in-demand fields in today's tech industry.
Every year, there is a high demand for thousands of engineers in the Real Time field. Especially today, there is a tremendous need for employees with knowledge and practical experience.
In the past decade, thousands of students have participated in this course, with approximately 88% of the graduates finding employment. Furthermore, 100% of those who completed their final project in the development department found employment!
The Real Time Bootcamp is an intensive program lasting several months that will provide you with the knowledge and tools required for the following positions:
The course targets individuals involved in the development of Embedded Systems, systems which are used in a wide range of products such as IoT (Internet of Things) devices, smartphones, vehicles, and more.
The development for such systems is done using specialized tools because precision and speed are required to respond to events in real-time.
Every year, students enroll in this program with the goal of quickly securing one of the many sought-after positions in this field. Therefore, a solid knowledge foundation is required.
What is an Embedded Engineer? An Embedded Engineer is one of the most sought-after roles by many companies in the high-tech industry.
An Embedded Developer programs systems directly on the hardware, similar to Embedded Bare Board Applications.
This type of development is done without an operating system and employs powerful and traditional languages like C and C++.
The integration of our development division's expertise in the Embedded field within the curriculum creates a unique training program. Since 2007, all students who completed the project have found employment at the end of the course.
We offer all the courses in the curriculum to beginner programmers (engineering graduates, computer science, exact sciences, or programmers without experience), while experienced programmers can focus only on the required topics.
Embedded computer systems are integrated into our lives through a wide variety of software products and technological items we use on a daily basis.
Computers, smartphones, vehicles, and virtually all technological devices incorporate an embedded computer system that operates either with or without an operating system, serving a multitude of functions.
What are Embedded Systems? Embedded Systems development is necessary to create the optimal integration between hardware and software for various product specifications. In other words, common computing systems like PCs often have dimensions and power consumption that might not suit the requirements of many sought-after computing products.
For example, communication equipment, cameras, media players, smart controllers, and more require embedded systems to provide sufficiently advanced and flexible services. These involve specialized sensors, working with timers and clocks, display screens, sound cards, memory components, networking interfaces, and more.
In the past, the world of Embedded Systems was extremely limited. Computing units required large memory footprints and high power consumption, and hardware performance was basic. Data transfer between devices often relied on magnetic media or non-standard communication protocols, leading to high complexity, inflexibility, and similar issues.
Today, the situation has changed. Hardware operates with dedicated architectures suited to the product's style and is flexible enough for specific customization according to different needs. The software running on the hardware allows highly customized and complex operations, optimally utilizing the hardware's capabilities.
Embedded computer systems include CPUs and encompass a wide range of everyday systems, such as cellular phones, handheld computers (Palm Pilot), remote controls, and more.
Unlike a general-purpose PC, embedded systems are application-specific, optimized to fulfill the requirements of the desired application.
The architecture of these systems differs from PCs in terms of CPU capabilities and speed, System Bus speed, required memory (RAM/Flash), and more.
Choosing a programming language for Embedded Systems is influenced by several factors:
The most popular language for Embedded Systems is the C programming language. C is a basic programming language known for its efficiency and simplicity, making it a perfect fit for Embedded Systems.
Furthermore, C serves as a foundation for more advanced programming languages. If you're interested in programming or building various types of Embedded Systems, we highly recommend learning C.
A Real Time system is one that must fulfill certain performance requirements within specific time limits. In other words, the processing duration from the event's detection to the response must be consistent and within a specified timeframe.
There's a common misconception that all Real Time systems are necessarily Embedded systems, but that's not the case. Real Time systems can be based on PCs as well as hardware-implemented systems. The primary component in Real Time systems is the operating system, which must meet the required performance standards.
Examples of Real Time operating systems include:
The curriculum combines knowledge and practical exercises (lots of practice) in a comprehensive Bootcamp style. The lessons focus on the practical knowledge and skills required of Real Time Embedded developers. The courses were developed in collaboration with high-tech companies in the industry and are continually updated according to projects in our development division.
