In today's rapidly evolving landscape, organizations are embracing Digital Transformation in alignment with the rapid growth of Industrial Automation. As automation significantly enhances business returns, sectors such as Designing, Manufacturing, Assembling, and Logistics are transitioning into Digital Industries. One of the key elements driving this transformation is the evaluation of multi-featured, high-speed, tiny microcontrollers. The global microcontroller market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2021-2023, creating substantial job opportunities for the engineering community in the coming decade.
The primary objective of this course is to prepare learners for these emerging job opportunities. The course on "Programming of Microcontroller Development Boards" is designed with a clear vision and roadmap, covering the fundamentals of microcontrollers, methodologies for designing microcontrollers, exploratory skills in application-specific embedded boards, and real-time industrial applications. The concepts of the course are seamlessly integrated with perfect demonstrations through a digital platform, along with use cases that ensure complete learner engagement.
This course provides experiential knowledge and skills about embedded development boards and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools. Learners will be guided using a multi-purpose development board preferred in industrial applications. The pedagogy followed in the course offers learners valuable insights through demonstrations, encouraging creativity. The in-course discussions prompt learners to develop innovative embedded solutions for real-world applications.
Join us to gain practical insights and hands-on experience in microcontroller programming and prepare yourself for the future of digital transformation and industrial automation.
