Designing and Realising
This is the core of the craft: turning a requirement into a working, tested embedded system — electronics on a breadboard or PCB, firmware on a microcontroller, and the sensors, actuators, and buses that connect them.
Starting Points
- Electronics & circuit prototyping
- Lab tools & soldering
- Microcontroller programming & flashing
- Language & toolchain
- Firmware architecture
- Sensors, actuators & PWM
- Serial protocols
- Testing & debugging on hardware
- Working with AI
Deepening:
- RTOS application development
- Connectivity & IoT
- ROS development
- Embedded Linux & edge
- Secure & safety-critical design
Level 2 Learning Outcome Designing & Realising
You design and realise solutions in consultation with stakeholders, work according to provided methods, and validate whether it works as intended. Success criteria:
- You design and realise according to provided methods and standards, take into account the interests of end users, and ask for help when you run into problems
- You communicate about your work, show your progress, and process feedback to improve it
- You test against criteria, validate with end users, and adjust based on the results
Level 3 Learning Outcome Designing & Realising
You design and realise fitting solutions in dialogue with stakeholders, work according to professional standards, and systematically validate whether the solution works and meets the needs. Success criteria:
- You design and realise according to professional standards and ethical principles, take into account scalability and maintainability, and solve problems independently
- You communicate about your work, present your design and results, and systematically integrate feedback into your work
- You validate continuously with end users, test systematically, and critically evaluate quality and effectiveness
