Course Overview
The Embedded Systems - Shape The World: Multi-Threaded Interfacing program emphasizes making you understand how electronic gadgets are developed, designed, and built as an embedded system in the real world. It is a hands-on, learn-by-doing course that extensively covers interrupts and how you can use them to create a range of real-time systems, an audio player, an interactive game, a control system, etc.
It will begin with simple approaches to problem-solving and gradually progress from simple interfacing to complex concepts such as motor control, analogue to digital conversion and vice versa, graphics, communications, and much more. Embedded Systems Multi-Threaded Interfacing by edX will teach candidates the conceptual principles and practical tips circuit building on the microcontroller using the C programming language.
Candidates will also develop debugging skills like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and software instrumentation. At the end of the Embedded Systems - Shape the World: Multi-Threaded Interfacing online course, candidates will learn how to build an arcade-style game from scratch.
The students may choose any one of the tracks available namely verified and audit to complete the programme. Both the tracks are self-paced but during the audit track, the candidates will get limited period access to the course. On the other hand, the verified track offers unlimited time for accessing the course.

Eligibility Criteria
Candidates enrolling in the Embedded Systems - Shape the World: Multi-Threaded Interfacing certification needs to have completed a computer programming course in any language. They should have exposure to variables, arithmetic, logic, functions, and loops. They should also have done a high school level physics course covering voltage, resistance, power, and current.
Besides, candidates should also have the knowledge from the first part of the embedded systems course, including I/O port programming, LED/switch interfacing, microcontroller debugging, finite state machine, and C programming.
Candidates will also have to buy the Texas Instruments TM4C123 microcontroller kit, along with a few electronic components as this is a hands-on course. To acquire the microcontroller and install the required software, visit http://edx-org-utaustinx.s3.amazonaws.com/UT601x/index.html.
What you will learn
Candidates are encouraged to complete the edX Embedded Systems - Shape the World: Multi-Threaded Interfacing training as they will have valuable insights about various topics such as:
- Using modular design and abstraction to understand embedded systems
- C programming in the context of style and function
- Testing and building circuits with resistors, switches, liquid crystal displays, potentiometers, and LEDs
- Synchronizing software and hardware input/output with switches, sound sensors, lights, motors, and liquid crystal displays
- Using interrupts, Implement an input/output driver and multi-threaded programming
- Debug using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and software instrumentation
- Learn how to read a data sheet
- As part of the Internet of Things, construct a smart object and create a system.
Admission Details
Step 1: Individuals who wish to join Embedded Systems - Shape the World: Multi-Threaded Interfacing by edX must visit the edX website: https://www.edx.org/learn/embedded-systems/the-university-of-texas-at-austin-embedded-systems-shape-the-world-multi-threaded-interfacing
