Internship – a four-part course series

Three people were killed after an Asiana Airlines flight from England made an emergency landing at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on July 6, 2013. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the landing was likely due to (lack of) action by the flight crew. Three young girls lost their lives; two on the plane and another was run over by a fire engine.

Human error is often the cause of accidents. The NTSB and other reports indicate that over 50 percent of airline crashes are due to pilot error (and in the case of automobile accidents, the number rises to about 90 percent). Properly designed safety and security systems can prevent these errors.

What will you learn?

  • Developing secure embedded systems.
  • Programming a landing guidance system in the graduation project.

If you are interested in building secure embedded systems for the benefit of humanity, this internship is for you!

Main topics

  • Embedded hardware design
  • Embedded connectivity security
  • Real-time systems

These courses show what it takes to program IoT systems. We focus on the tools used in the modern IoT industry, and promote a hands-on approach to learning while coding.

Applied Learning Project

Our project is a hands-on programming assignment where the student combines the knowledge from our courses. The student will develop a real IoT system based on Wittenstein’s FreeRTOS platform. This is a real engineering challenge where the student must apply both their skills and creativity to build a functioning large-scale embedded system.

We hope to see you soon!
