Embedded Systems Certificate of Achievement

The Embedded Systems Technician Certificate is geared towards students who want to take their programming and circuit building skills to the next level. 

Students must complete the Robotics Technician Certificate of Specialization prior to entry into the  Embedded Systems Technician program. 

In the Embedded Systems Technician program, students will become proficient in programming a variety of microcontrollers to perform tasks in an embedded application in C-based programming languages. Students who have obtained this certificate will be proficient at the use of multimeters and oscilloscopes to analyze circuit design and troubleshoot problems. Students will gain familiarity with digital communication protocols. This program is designed to teach students the skills necessary to build a career working with embedded electronics commonly found in consumer devices, IoT connected devices, and autonomous vehicles.

Students earning this certificate are encouraged to continue their education by completing the additional requirements for the Associate of Science degree. They are also encouraged to pursue a bachelor's degree in an Electrical Engineering or Computer Science discipline.
