Three people died after the crash landing of an Asiana Airlines aircraft from Seoul, Korea, at San Fransisco International Airport (SFO) on July 6, 2013. The American National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) established that the crash most probably was caused by the flight crew's (in)actions. Three teenage girls lost their lives; two in the airplane and another was accidentally run over by a firetruck.

Three people died after the crash landing of an Asiana Airlines aircraft from Seoul, Korea, at San Fransisco International Airport (SFO) on July 6, 2013. The American National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) established that the crash most probably was caused by the flight crew's (in)actions. Three teenage girls lost their lives; two in the airplane and another was accidentally run over by a firetruck.

The human factor is often cause for accidents. NTSB and others report that more than 50 percent of plane crashes is caused by pilot error (and for road accidents it is even 90 perc.) Correctly designed safety and security critical systems can prevent these errors.

After following this course successfully, you are able to develop secure embedded systems that are at the core of these safety and security critical systems. You are even challenged to program your own landing guiding system in our capstone project.

If you are interested in building secure embedded systems for the benefit of humanity, this specialization is for you!

EIT Digital has chosen 3 MOOC topics of industrial interest, namely: 1) Embedded design and hardware, 2) Security in embedded connectivity and 3) Real-Time systems. These MOOCs show what it takes to program Internet-of-Things systems. We focus on tools used in the modern IoT industry, and we push for a practical learn-by-programming approach in which you are exposed to the actual development in an early stage.

We hope to see you soon!

What's inside

Four courses

Embedded Hardware and Operating Systems

(0 hours)
All about practical programming and creating IoT applications! This course covers hardware components and operating systems, enabling you to plan and use embedded operating systems in resource-constrained devices for IoT applications. You'll also learn to use Cooja simulation for designing and simulating wireless sensor network applications.

Web Connectivity and Security in Embedded Systems

(0 hours)
Web Connectivity and Security in Cyber-Physical Systems explores technologies that connect modern devices, enabling a network of connected things. We will discuss rules, protocols, and standards for these devices to communicate with each other in the network. We will also go through security and privacy issues and challenges in cyber-physical systems (CPS).

Development of Real-Time Systems

(0 hours)
This course teaches how to plan and implement real-time systems, which are critical in embedded systems like airbags and avionics. Students will learn to use the C language and the FreeRTOS real-time kernel to program these systems. The course also covers the future of real-time systems, namely multi-core real-time systems.

Capstone: Autonomous Runway Detection for IoT

(2 hours)
Finally, learn how to motivate engineering decisions and choose implementations to make a system actually running! This capstone project course ties together the knowledge from three previous courses in IoT through embedded systems: Development of Real-Time Systems, Web Connectivity & Security, and Embedded Hardware and Operating Systems.
