FACILITIES and ACTIVITIES

PG Diploma in Embedded Systems

An Embedded System is designed to perform a specific function and is a combination of hardware and software.

Each Embedded System is unique, and the hardware as well as software is highly specialized to the application domain Embedded system has become an essential part of any product or equipment in all fields including Telecommunications, Medical, Industrial, Consumer products etc.

The Embedded System Group of DOEACC Centre, Calicut coordinates the training and consultancy activities of the Center in the embedded system design field. Our mission is to provide high quality, industry-focused Embedded Design services and training to the professionals, students etc.
