01About the course
What you will learn in Automotive Embedded Systems
Automotive embedded systems are the small computers, called ECUs, that control almost everything in a modern vehicle – engine, brakes, airbags, lights, dashboard and infotainment. Each ECU runs C code on a microcontroller and talks to other ECUs over in-vehicle networks such as CAN, LIN and FlexRay. Engineers also use diagnostic protocols like UDS to read faults and flash software. This page covers a full 160-hour embedded course and a 48-hour course on automotive systems and validation.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want Automotive Embedded Systems taught live by a trainer.
Basic knowledge of digital electronics helps. C programming is taught from the start in the 160-hour course, so prior coding is useful but not required.
