Embedded Systems, iOT & Edge Computing
“We are seeing a profound shift in industrial technology. The next-generation factory is not just connected; it processes intelligence right where the data lives. Edge computing combined with IoT is turning every industrial space into a real-time software-driven environment.”— Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft
Engineering the next industrial revolution — architecting intelligent industries.
Engineer intelligent industries.
Master the future of smart manufacturing and connected devices with the six-month, full-time Advanced Embedded Systems, Industrial IoT, AI and Edge Computing bootcamp. Designed and led by industry experts, this intensive deep-tech program equips you with cutting-edge skills in hardware programming, real-time data processing and machine learning at the edge.
You'll master bare-metal and RTOS programming (C/C++ on ARM Cortex-M, STM32, ESP32), industrial IoT architectures (MQTT, CoAP, OPC-UA), TinyML and lightweight ML frameworks on edge hardware, and end-to-end system integration for predictive maintenance and real-time decision-making.
Build the systems that run at the edge.
Eight capabilities across firmware, real-time systems, IoT and edge AI — from silicon to cloud.
Ship production firmware in C/C++
ARM Cortex, peripherals, drivers and debugging on real hardware — bare-metal and beyond.
Build real-time applications
FreeRTOS and Zephyr — tasks, scheduling, synchronisation and deterministic behaviour in constrained environments.
Design connected devices
MQTT, CoAP, Modbus and BLE — the wire-level story of production IoT solutions.
Interface with the real world
Signal conditioning, ADC/DAC, sensor fusion and actuator control for reliable field data.
Deploy TinyML at the edge
Model compression, quantisation and inference on constrained devices — Coral, Jetson, MCU-class.
Connect devices to platforms
AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub and industrial platforms — provisioning, telemetry and OTA at scale.
Harden embedded systems
Secure boot, key storage, encrypted OTA and OT-aware defence for connected devices.
Ship recruiter-ready work
A firmware project, an edge-AI demo and an IoT dashboard — three concrete pieces to show.
1,200 hours of deep, industry-led learning.
Curriculum built by industry practitioners.
