Embedded Systems Essentials with Arm Professional Certificate

Embedded systems engineers are in demand, thanks to the emergence of disruptive technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the 5G powered Internet of Things (IoT). What’s more, embedded systems are the building blocks of our connected world and Arm-based technologies are the industry standard. Any aspiring engineer looking to unlock the limitless potential of the Fifth Wave of Computing will need to have a fundamental understanding of this important subject area.

This Embedded Systems Essential Program will provide you with the foundational skills required to begin your embedded systems design and programming career. It is aimed at those familiar with computer or electrical engineering principles at an undergraduate level and with a basic understanding of a programming language such as C/C++.

In Part 1 of the Program, we’ll give you an overview of the characteristics of an embedded system – its components, benefits and constraints. All of this will be supported by Arm’s Mbed API – you can download and use the Mbed simulator on your own computer to quickly get started with prototyping and building your microcontroller projects without the need for hardware.

 

 

Part 2 of the Program will build upon the knowledge acquired in the first course and combine this with new foundational skills focusing on Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Serial Communication as they’re applied to Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers.

 

 

Embedded systems are everywhere – and Arm-based technologies are the industry standard. Getting started could not be easier. This course includes free access to an Mbed simulator so you can apply your new knowledge and skills to prototype and build real-world embedded applications quickly, without the trouble or expense of sourcing hardware.

Kickstart your embedded systems career by enrolling in our Embedded Systems Essential Program today!

 

Mbed OS EOL Announcement

Arm has announced that Mbed OS and the Mbed Platform will reach end of life in July 2026. At that time, the Mbed website will be archived, and it will no longer be possible to build projects in our online tools. The Arm Education team is actively working on creating alternative teaching and learning solutions in time for the new academic terms starting Fall/Autumn 2025. We welcome feedback from the academic community on this. Please reach out to the team at education@arm.com.
