Automotive Embedded Systems

Description

Course Description

Automotive embedded system is the backbone of modern vehicles to make them more efficient, safety (Brake system, Airbag system, Electronic Stability Program), driver assistance systems (Navigation, night vision, blind-spot detection) or to comply with legal necessities (reducing the emission of pollutants by intelligent engine control), comfy and secure. An increase in the complexity of modern cars also increases the demands overwhelmed on diagnostics, maintenance, and repair. Currently, there is a noticeable shortage of qualified automotive technicians with excellent skills. Vehicles will continue to become more complex; therefore, the need for good technicians will continue to grow. Hence there is a need for a practical training program in automotive electronics with an emphasis on Embedded System of Vehicle.

Course objectives

The automotive industry is today the sixth-largest economy in the world, producing around 70 million cars every year and making an important contribution to government revenues all around the world. The main objective of this course is to provide an understanding of the technology essential to the design and implementation of an embedded system using suitable hardware and software tools for automotive applications. The auto industry needs electrical, Electronics and computer engineers in ever-increasing numbers to deal with the number of electronics in the modern car. These engineers deal with electronics, controls, safety systems, infotainment systems, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. This course endeavors a variety of topics of instant connection to industry and makes the members precisely proper for Automotive Industry.

Roles in industry

The technological progress in the electronics and telecommunications area made the evolution of various advanced systems in the automotive industry. Automotive embedded systems are typical microcontroller systems with specific purposes, normally with real-time computation captivity. In automobiles, embedded systems are used in infotainment and telematics, ADAS, airbags, head-up displays, electronic brake systems, power steering, and active suspension, among others.
