Domain-Specific Training in Embedded Systems
Durations – 300 Hrs.-Online & Offline
Program Objective
Embedded & AutomotiveSystems with AI equips learners to design
intelligent embedded applications and understand key automotive
protocols and electronics. Students gain hands-on experience with
microcontrollers, RTOS, device drivers, and industry-standard
embedded C (MISRA-C).
With a focus on project-based learning and tools like ARM, FreeRTOS, Qt, and MATLAB/Simulink, the program prepares students for cross-functional engineering roles which enhances the employability of a student
