Embedded Systems
Overview
- In this training participants would be able to design, describe, validate and optimise embedded electronic systems in different industrial application areas.
- Participants will also have the capability to solve theoretical and practical problems with particular emphasis on electronic circuits, control programs and the software-hardware interface
