 ===== Course Outcomes  =====
-Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system is a special-purpose system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. The embedded system design consists of hardware, software, analog microelectronics, sensors and actuators which are combined for a specific application ranging from communications, to transportation, avionic and to medical instrumentation. Students will gain in-depth technical competence in the various areas including the design of hardware/software for embedded systems, the design of analog interfacing system along with the selection of appropriate sensors and actuators.
+After taking the course, students should be able to:
+  * Describe/demonstrate how to work with at least one embedded system and be able to configure/program it to do basic tasks.
+  * Describe/demonstrate embedded microcontroller architecture, development, debug and testing
+  * Describe and/or demonstrate the use of parallel, serial and analog interfaces used in embedded platforms
+  * Design embedded software and hardware systems under tight constraints
+  * Prototype embedded systems using microcontrollers or FPGAs
+  * Design embedded computer systems to address problems in important application domains
+====== Prerequisites ======
+Students should have a good understanding of digital and analog electronics and computer organization. You should also be familiar with assembly programming (C programming will be helpful).
