We have witnessed a proliferation of embedded systems in recent years. Their importance is increasing as their use is becoming widespread. They are used for communication, and collecting environmental parameters, and they make our devices smart. The Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems, Industry 4, are all based on embedded electrical systems. The objective of the course is to provide an understanding of the design concepts, architecture as well as basic components of embedded electronic systems. 

This course covers the description of the main electronic components of communicating and sensing embedded devices and their fundamental design principles. It introduces the critical aspects of implementation through examples from software, hardware, and system points of view. Upon successful completion of the course, the students should be able to understand the main engineering issues of modern embedded devices. Moreover, they will be able to use these devices to solve practical problems. A further objective of the course is to provide an opportunity for students with relevant ambitions to join international research projects in this area.
