How do the three courses in the Embedded Systems Certificate Program fit together?
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has begun a certificate program in embedded systems. To obtain a certificate, students must successfully complete three embedded systems courses, consisting of two core courses and one elective course. The first core course is ECEN 4613/5613 Embedded System Design, in which students are exposed to the fundamentals of embedded systems and get experience in developing hardware and firmware around the popular 8-bit 8051 microcontroller. In the second core course, ECEN 4623/5623 Real-Time Embedded Systems, students learn real-time theory and gain experience in developing code using the popular VxWorks real-time operating system and various 32-bit targets (along with learning about the PCI bus). Students may choose the third course from a set of approved electives. Currently, the approved electives include ECEN 4033/5543 Software Engineering of Stand-Alone Programs, ECEN 4633/5633 Embedded Systems Laboratory (redesigned in 2004 as Hybrid
