Embedded Systems- The Way Forward by usisky(m): 12:18pm On Jan 06, 2011
Do u want to find out what embedded systems are? or are u already familiar with it?

As an embedded systems designer, i will be giving u all the necessary information to my best of knowledge regarding the subject of discussion. As a graduate of electrical/computer engineering, i have been designing electronic systems/projects for my mates during school days and still doing so on request.

Embedded systems design is simply  a fusion of many disciplines, e.g, hardware design(electronics), computer programming. i believe its a promising area to begin to look into. Embedded systems are the heart of virtually every system u can think of today.from the navigational system driving your airplane, to the microwave oven in your house.even the very mobile phones we use daily are classified as embedded systems. becoming an embedded systems designer opens door for u in a variety of disciplines, such as, robotics(mechatronics) , Avionics, Automobile and a lot more. i invite all curious minds to look into this promising area of technology. All that is required of u is, knowledge of electronics design, computer programming(assembly,high-level), and a knowledge of programming processors, microcontroller, DSPs and others.

below is a glimpse  of the projects i have built with my colleague over the years. if u need help on a project u intend to embark on , or u want one built for u, then feel free to consult me. u are welcome to share ur ideas too.thanks
