Certificate Course in SafeTTy Systems
About the
Program
● Certificate course in Reliable Time Triggered Embedded Systems will provide understanding of the techniques essential to the design and implementation of Embedded Systems using time triggered architectures in mission critical applications like automotive, medical, industrial sectors.
● This program provides learners the required jumpstart to create schedulers to meet tight real time constraints required to achieve functional safety.
● It is a perfectly designed program for aspiring under-graduates/graduates or Post Graduate students of Engineering or Science faculties. Students acquire the skills needed by the industry in achieving the functional safety of embedded systems.
● This program comprises two Levels: Level 0 and Level 1.
● Level 0 represents the entry level qualification level that should be expected from an individual involved in the development of real-time embedded systems that are intended to be reliable using a simple embedded OS. This level consists of two modules (Module1+Module
2)of 30hrs duration each.
● Level 1 represents the minimum qualification level that should be expected from an individual involved in the development of real-time embedded systems that are intended to be reliable, but where failure has no direct safety implications. This level consists of two modules(Module3+Module4) of 30hrs duration each.
Salient features:
● International Certifications add value to your profile for employment and overseas education.
● Program starts with the fundamentals needed to design reliable embedded systems.
● Learn to create structured code.
● Understand the Time triggered architectures that lays the foundation for design of safe and reliable systems.
