Embedded systems are specialized computing units built into devices to control functions in everything from smartphones and cars to medical equipment and industrial machines. They combine hardware and software to perform real-time tasks reliably and efficiently. Learning embedded systems can help you develop in-demand skills for engineering, robotics, and smart technology innovation.
Popular embedded systems courses include Introduction to Embedded Systems Software and Development Environments from the University of Colorado Boulder and An Introduction to Programming the Internet of Things (IoT) Specialization from UC Irvine. These cover C programming, microcontrollers, real-time systems, and IoT applications.‎
Yes. Many embedded systems courses offer a free audit option. You can access video lessons and reading materials at no cost. To complete assignments or earn a certificate, you’ll need to pay or apply for financial aid.‎
You’ll learn how embedded systems work, how to program microcontrollers, and how to interact with hardware using C/C++, sensors, and real-time operating systems. Some courses also cover system design, debugging, and building IoT-connected devices.‎
