This online engineering specialization will help you elevate your skills from a beginning practitioner to a more advanced real-time system analyst and designer. You will dive deeper into difficult-to-master topics, including predictable response services, when to allocate requirements to hardware or software, and mission-critical design. You will also gain hands-on experience building a simple but real system project with real-time challenges.

By completing this specialization, you will learn more about:

  • Rate Monotonic theory and policies
  • Methods of Rate Monontoic analysis
  • Real-time system design techniques
  • Engineering principles for allocating functionality and services to hardware, firmware, or software implementation
