An introduction to software architecture
Attending this training is advantageous.
Embedded systems
At the end of the course, you will earn a Certificate of Completion from Spirit in Projects.
Are you interested in learning how a cohesive IT architecture can minimize risks in developing complex systems? If you’re eager to explore Embedded Systems, this training is ideal. Together, we will examine which solution concepts are suitable for designing system and software architecture with a focus on the integrated use of modeling languages (e.g. UML) through detailed exercises.
