Embedded Systems
Certificate Opens Doors in Microprocessor Design, continued
Practicing engineers in local
industry, along with on-campus degree students, have been enrolling in
the program since 1999 to learn how to design and implement these systems.
They are headed for a career that is in great demand, in a field with
market sales of more than 3 billion microprocessors per year.
In the three-course program,
students first learn how to develop and debug embedded systems hardware
and firmware. Next, they design and build their own microprocessor-based
embedded systems. Finally, they build a project, pursue it through the
product life-cycle from concept to system integration, and gain design
skills that will put them ahead in this burgeoning field.
StorageTek, Sun, Ball, Seagate,
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Xilinx and many other local companies stand to benefit
from the program through their employees' enhanced skills. Likewise, degree
students are finding that the program opens many career doors.
Embedded Systems Design, taught
by Linden McClure of Hewlett-Packard, is one of the department's highest-rated
courses. Sam Siewert of Network Photonics and Jennifer Trelewicz of IBM
currently teach the other two courses. For more information, visit http://ece-www.colorado.edu/embedded.html.
