Amrita Microsoft Embedded Systems Laboratory was established in the year 2008 with the inception of
M. Tech (Embedded Systems) by the department of EEE in the year 2008. The lab can accommodate up
to forty students at a time. It was set up with financial support from MICROSOFT for half a crore. The
embedded systems lab has state of the art facilities with several hardware and software platforms for the
entire course.

The MTech. Embedded Systems curriculum is framed to cater to all the hardware boards by offering
various subjects like Real Time Systems, Embedded System Programming, Computer Architecture using
ARM, Digital Signal Processors, Artificial Intelligence, Embedded Systems Programming, IoT, Robotics,
Automotive in addition to the large number of elective courses offered.

Each subject has an associated lab which corroborates that practical training in the domain of Embedded
Systems. The Dissertation at the end of the program also helps in perpetuating that the laboratory is fully
utilized. The laboratory is open from 9 am to 10.30 pm to enable students to work on various boards and
update their skills.

With a strong focus on imparting research skills among the students, in significant areas of Embedded
Systems the program includes key components which would make the graduates suited and employable
in, industrial, government R&D, and academic settings, spanning diverse areas of the exponentially
growing embedded domain.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The educational objectives of the MTech Embedded Systems program include:

1. Graduates will acquire the ability to migrate to all domains of embedded solutions.

2. Graduates will practice ethics in their professional domain and imbibe the professional attitude
developed

3. Graduates will learn to work well in team environment considering the multidisciplinary aspect of
embedded systems.
