Embedded engineers' roles are in high demand by many companies in the high-tech industry.
An Embedded developer programs systems directly on the hardware, following an Embedded Bare Board Application approach. This type of development is performed without an operating system and utilizes robust and established languages such as C and C++.
The integration of expertise from our Development Division in the Embedded field within the curriculum creates a unique training program. Since 2007, all students who completed their final projects have found employment at the end of the course.
The Embedded Bare-Board course consists of various topics that form the field. In this course, students will learn to program directly on the hardware, without an operating system, directly on the board (hence, Bare-Board).
We offer all the courses in the track to beginner programmers (engineering graduates / computer science graduates / exact sciences graduates / programmers with no experience). Experienced programmers can focus only on the topics that are relevant to them.
Towards the end of the Embedded Systems course:
During the Embedded Systems Bootcamp, the student will become familiar with the specialized tools and topics that confront embedded system designers/real-time programmers.
The curriculum includes all stages, starting from system initialization and Boot-Loader implementation, operating mode, and the use of peripherals such as UARTS, I2C, SPI Timers, PWM, Ethernet, writing Board Support Package (BSP), Device Drivers, using debugging tools, and planning and implementing Embedded Applications.
The syllabus was designed after numerous meetings with tech companies in the industry, emphasizing current requirements.
To prepare you for the industry and accelerate your integration as a real-time engineer in the development team of the company, all lectures and exercises are conducted on Evaluation Boards.
You will use development boards, such as ARM-based systems, that are popular in architecture design in the industry. Using these boards, you will learn planning stages, the required tools, and debugging as an integral part of the Embedded systems development process. Each student will receive a development kit (development board + SDK) for performing exercises and projects.
