In today's world, Embedded Systems and IoT are all over homes, offices, cars, factories, hospitals, and Industries. The inherent value of these technologies lies in their pervasiveness. They are literally embedded in all electronic products, from consumer electronics to office automation, automotive, medical devices, and communications. They make the products smart, and connected and are responsible for differentiating the products in the market.

Developing tomorrow's industrial infrastructure is a significant challenge. This course goes beyond the hype of consumer IoT to emphasize a much greater space for potential embedded system applications and growth. The primary objective of this specialization is to closely examine emerging markets, technology trends, applications, and skills required by engineering students or working engineers, exploring career opportunities in the Embedded System Design and IoT space. This course is conducted in collaboration with ARM and the syllabus has been updated based on the ARM University Program Contents.

This Embedded System Design and IoT course focuses on the Architecture and Programming of Embedded Processors and the development of Embedded and IoT applications using Embedded/Real-Time Operating Systems. Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial IoT, and Embedded Product Designs are discussed in detail. As part of the project work, a proof-of-concept prototype design of an Embedded / IoT system has to be undertaken by participants to be industry-ready.
