HI there the young and vibrant minds of the future!

Are u into electronics designs; are u into the use of microprocessors,microcontrollers, DSPs, PLCs? then! u could well be on your way to becoming an embedded systems designer/developer.

As graduates of electrical/computer engineering, i and a friend/colleague, have an extensive insight into the word of embedded systems development. We have been designing product oriented projects for students since our days in school and still doing so today. Building projects for students have really improved our knowledge over time.

I welcome anybody who is interested in inquiring what this great future is all about. u can also ask question as regards embedded systems in general.

what does it take to become an embedded systems designer/developer? well! some background in electronics, programing(assembly, C , VB, or other).

i know u will like to know more about what embedded systems are. but i will reserve that till when asked from the audience. but know this; embedded systems are everywhere around u, from your pesky looking microwave , to washing machine , your mobile phones , airplanes , robotic systems and a host of others.

below is just some of the lists of projects we have embarked on earlier.
