Apply to one of the courses that would make you employable in an industry that is completely reindustalizing Canada. Embedded Systems is connected to every day objects now and you won’t even notice it. There is a huge demand for this skill and Conestoga College is offering the skill – Embedded System Development Course in Canada.

Why Embedded System in Canada –

Embedded systems stand to play a crucial roal in reindustrializing Canada, according to a CATA study of those working in that field. Embedded systems are the tip of a larger phenomenon that is the introduction of information technology in all industries. More and more everyday objects are being embedded with processors and sensors, connected to distant servers, creating tomorrow’s Internet of things. Conestoga College is offering this course for students who have graduated in computer science or electronics or communication engineering technology. For international students , they should score a 6.0 in the IELTS .

Who is developing these embedded systems?

The study finds that the Canadian industry is relatively young, but already very active. According to the Canadian Alliance for Advanced Technology (CATA) study, about 72,000 people work in the field of embedded systems in Canada (29,000 in the design and development companies, 43,000 in the user sector). The Other Computing is based on a survey conducted in the summer of 2011 among 716 CEOs and marketing officers.

“Every manufacturing company must take advantage of the presence on Canada of a vibrant industry of embedded systems” says Science tech senior analyst Jean-Guy Rens. “Intelligence is becoming the top factor in consumer products choice. This is true not only in consumer electronics, but in all manufactured products, from automobiles to sport shoes.”

Today nobody would buy a car without a series of sensors embedded into the brakes and the airbags; and tomorrow everybody will require radar monitoring and Wi-Fi communications. For some time already, people have been used to buying footwear with an embedded system inside the sole in which can measure their performance and analyze their data in an iPhone or a computer.

The study found that all industries will have to go through the same transformations as the old telecommunications – that is to say, suffer the same shock. Sector after sector, the whole economy will be affected by a computing flood of which embedded systems are the concrete manifestation.

Conestoga College – Embedded Systems Development (Graduate Certificate) (Co-op)

Embedded Systems Development (ESD) is a 4 semester program (3 academic semesters, with 1 mandatory co-op semesters), aimed at providing the student a solid understanding of the embedded systems industry, gaining hands on skills in the development (design and implementation) of both hardware and software for embedded systems.The program integrates a hands-on, practical approach to augment theoretical knowledge a student may already have coming into the program. Applied projects and lab work, along with hands-on opportunities in co-op help prepare graduates for a career in embedded systems development.
