Software Engineering Basics for Embedded Systems (LFD116)

Learn the skills and processes needed to create a high-quality, reliable, safe, and secure embedded system.

NOTE: This course is a guided review of essential content found in freely available external reference materials for best-practices of Software Engineering and glossary entries and informative content from standards on Systems and Software Engineering. The purpose of the course is to introduce the terminology and definitions from the reference material. To be faithful to that purpose, whenever possible the sources are quoted rather than paraphrased.

Who Is It For
This course is designed for open source developers, product managers, security professionals, safety engineers, directors and anyone who wants to develop an embedded software system to be supported over multiple lifecycles. Learners should have some prior software development or product integration experience, ideally in open source projects, but this course is also relevant to those with only proprietary software development experience.

Reviews
Jun 2024
This course gave me a new and broader understanding of software engineering concepts.
Feb 2024
The information is so concise.
Sep 2023
It's a good recap of basic software engineering knowledge, as defined by IEEE standards, with very little specialization towards embedded software.
Jun 2023
I liked that the information was brief and easy to understand. It gave an excellent overview of the topic as it was promised.
Apr 2023
It offers very interesting information about software development.
Mar 2023
The best for me is the way that the course talks about an advanced topic like the Software product line. This course is a good approach, and it can get the software team to use methods in the software product line.
