1. Raspberry Pi & Embedded Systems
1. Raspberry Pi & Embedded Systems Course: Imagine taking a small computer that fits in your hand and using it to build something that can sense, respond, control and interact with the physical world. That is the idea behind this skill development track. In this course, you will explore Raspberry Pi and understand how computing connects with electronics and real-world devices. You will work with hardware, interfaces, sensors and practical projects to understand how an embedded system actually comes together. This track is particularly relevant if you enjoy electronics, robotics, IoT, automation, hardware or understanding how software controls physical systems. You should consider this course if you want to move beyond writing code on a computer and experience what happens when software interacts with the real world. You will develop additional skills in hardware interfacing, embedded programming, system integration and project development. The workshop will also introduce you to the thinking behind real-time systems and RTOS, giving you an understanding of how embedded applications can be designed to respond to events and operate reliably. The industry relevance is broad. Embedded systems are used in automobiles, consumer electronics, industrial automation, robotics, defence systems, medical devices, smart devices and IoT products. The career directions connected to this track include embedded systems engineering, IoT development, robotics, automation, firmware development and hardware-software integration. The important thing to understand is that this is a build-oriented track. You are not simply learning what Raspberry Pi is. You are learning how a computing platform can become part of a practical embedded system. If you enjoy electronics and want to understand the connection between code, hardware and the physical world, this could be the right track for you.
