About This Program
From smart appliances and wearables to self-driving cars, today’s leading-edge devices run on embedded systems — tiny, built-in microprocessors that enable products to interconnect, sense and make real-time decisions. AI is driving the next-gen product roadmap, calling for engineers who can deliver memory, speed and power efficiency needed for real-time machine learning.
In this one-course specialization, you’ll gain advanced skills in programming low-power mesh-networked devices with on-board AI processing. You’ll combine theory with hands-on hardware projects as you learn to deploy real-time machine learning models, integrate cybersecurity and program directly on modern silicon platforms. We’ll also cover AI-driven development workflows and emerging applications. You’ll take away the knowledge you need to design secure, intelligent embedded systems.
