Embedded Systems:

                     M.Tech. in Embedded Systems is a 2-year long full-time course divided into 4 semesters. An Embedded System is a combination of hardware systems and software systems built into equipment that is not always recognized as being computerized, such as the systems that control a car’s anti-lock brakes, an automatic pilot of an aircraft, or the sensors and filters used in processing plants.

            Embedded Systems call for real-time operation, maintenance-reliability, and cost-effectiveness, thus placing heavy demands on the accompanying software and hardware. Embedded Systems is an advanced technology combining both software and hardware components. This is used in various domains like Telecom, Industrial, medical, Mobile technology, Automation, Home Automation, Automotive systems, Airplanes, Vending machines Military, and Toys.

            Using Embedded Systems, a variety of sophisticated systems can be developed, such as smart-phones, infusion pumps, pedometers, infotainment systems, TV, electronic gadgets, fridge, and AC, among others. Embedded Systems are employed in applications such as Product Designing, Software, Product Development, Hardware, Firmware, RTOS development, PCB designing, and Testing.

            Almost all Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical systems are now controlled by controllers which are embedded as part of the complete system. Such a system is an Embedded System. Some examples of such a system are tele-communication systems, transportation systems, chemical-processing plants such as aircrafts and automobiles, home appliances, and bio-medical instruments such as microwave ovens and washing machines. Embedded Systems are typically designed to perform certain specific tasks, often in real time, and satisfying certain performance requirements. This is achieved through the controllers and software called firmware, which are stored in the Read Only Memory of the controller.
