What is so special about this course?

The Automotive Electronics course is first of its kind because it provides a complete system-level understanding of how modern vehicles work — not just isolated topics. It starts with E/E architecture, the backbone of every vehicle, and builds upward through sensors, actuators, diagnostics, control strategies, and software stacks.

Unlike traditional courses, it blends hardware, software, and system engineering to mirror real OEM and Tier-1 workflows. It also covers future-focused technologies like EVs, ADAS, AI applications, and Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), ensuring learners are aligned with industry evolution.

Hands-on demos such as EV bike simulation, complementary filtering, actuator modeling, and path planning reinforce theory with practical exposure. Learners also gain familiarity with industry standards like AUTOSAR, ASPICE, and UDS, preparing them for real development environments.

Finally, the course provides complete technology overview, showcasing actual automotive development flows, typical job roles, and skill pathways. This makes it ideal for students, embedded developers, and professionals looking to enter or grow in the automotive embedded systems domain.
