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.

Objectives

  • Understand system and software architecture for embedded systems
  • Plan the software architecture for embedded systems
  • Explore managing software architectures in embedded systems
  • Apply relevant methods for creating and documenting software architecture for embedded systems
  • Gain insights into variant management

Target groups:

Software Designer, Software Architect, System Architect, Enterprise Architect and for all who are ready to explore the possibilities.
