EMBEDDED SYSTEM

What is an Embedded System?
Embedded systems are combination of hardware and software systems with a dedicated function within a mechanical or electrical system. It is either fixed in capability or is programmable to perform a special function. Programming interfaces are provided to Embedded Systems that are programmable.The ordinary microprocessors were made using peripheral interface circuits, but as the advancement took place the modern embedded systems were based on microcontrollers. 8051 is the basic microcontroller used and rests all the micro-controllers depend on it.
Application of an Embedded System:

The applications of embedded systems range from portable devices such as PDA and mobile phones to large industrial systems like factory controllers and traffic lights. It also deals with variety of other industrial installations like automobiles, medical equipments, cameras, household appliances, airplanes, vending machines, etc.

INDUSTRIAL DEMANDS AND CAREER SCOPE IN EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Embedded systems offer a great opportunity in product development. There are lots of innovations taking place like Samsung’s “innovative room temperature control” or high end applications in mobile phones; therefore industry demands those individuals who have ability to think innovatively. Skilled graduates in this industry can find jobs in the following sectors:

  • Consumer Electronics
  • Product Development
  • Aerospace
  •  

The domain is very wide, therefore the career path is diverse and well defined. Some of the career roles which a professional can foray into are:

  • Hardware Designer
  • ASIC Designer
  • Embedded Systems Developer
  • Customized Device Drivers
  • Developing industrial automation Solutions.
STEPS TO LEARN EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

The prerequisites domains which are required to learn embedded systems are:

  • Knowledge of digital Electronics.
  • Concepts of Basic Electronics should be clear.
  • Knowledge of Microprocessors.
  • C programming should be known.

This course will be very useful to graduates as well as engineers who are working in the industry. PHS aims at introducing the general concepts and architecture of IoT applications, networking technologies involved, IoT development kits including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Samsung ARTIK, and how to program them.

Students should rather focus on improving their software coding skills particularly in C/C++ to code using arduino instead of using Android or UNIX language. Proper focus should be given in all the topics such as hardware, software and firmware as they form the integral part of embedded systems.

At PHS we encourage students to  upgrade their thoughts and concepts for development in the technological world to trace the path of exciting career growth.

Here in PHS, Embedded systems are taught using 8051 micro-controllers using C language and assembly language. Therefore special emphasis is given to the concepts of C language and assembly language. It is also ensured that the minute concepts of 8051 micro-controllers are properly covered with practical exposure in PHS.
