Why This Track?

Software that controls hardware fails differently. Power drops, networks vanish, memory is measured in kilobytes. This track teaches you to build for those constraints.

Embedded C and microcontroller fundamentals
Sensor interfacing over UART, SPI and I2C
Real-time scheduling with FreeRTOS
BLE and MQTT device communication
Power profiling and low-power design
Hardware debugging with a logic analyzer
Real Hardware, Not Simulation: Every project runs on a physical ESP32 or STM32 board and is demonstrated live on the device during assessment.

Who This Track Is For

  • Engineering students in ECE, EEE, Mechatronics or CSE
  • Beginners in embedded systems and microcontrollers
  • Hobbyists moving from Arduino sketches to production firmware
  • Software developers wanting hardware exposure
  • Career switchers targeting embedded and IoT roles
Note: No prior embedded experience required. A hardware kit list is shared before the cohort begins.

Project Roadmap

A rigorous 4-project spine that mirrors actual industry workflows, augmented by targeted add-on mini-projects.

Core 4-Project Spine

Step-by-step development phases mirroring real assessment rounds

★ Industry Mirrored
Solo Project 1
Week 1
Mirrors: Protocol/hardware fundamentals
Project Brief

Read a specified sensor and publish readings to a given endpoint at a defined interval. (First real-hardware project on ESP32/STM32, with a debug log produced using a real logic analyzer).

Solo Project 2
Week 2
Mirrors: Firmware/driver round
Project Brief

The device must survive intermittent power and network loss without losing readings. Storage and retry strategy are the student's. (A second hardware project with a custom driver/ISR component).

Pair Project
Week 3
Mirrors: Protocol fluency round
Project Brief

One student owns firmware, the other owns the gateway and ingestion, meeting at a protocol they define together.

Capstone
Weeks 4–5
Mirrors: Full funnel, end to end
Project Brief

Student-proposed device and service, demonstrated live on hardware during the defense.

Mentor Support & Frequently Asked Questions

Understand how working professionals review your code every week and get answers to common questions before starting your journey.

Mentor Support & Verification

Our mentors don't just teach — they verify your skills. Every project you build is reviewed, ensuring you meet industry standards before you get certified.

  • Assign projects
  • Review source code
  • Verify project completion
  • Provide feedback
  • Approve assessment eligibility
  • Issue recommendation letters

Projects Are Not Self-Assessed

"You cannot certify yourself. A working professional mentor must start, review, and approve your work."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy hardware?

Yes — a kit list is shared before the cohort starts, typically under ₹2,500. It is yours to keep.

Is prior electronics knowledge required?

No — the track starts from microcontroller fundamentals.

Will projects run on real devices?

Yes — the capstone is demonstrated live on physical hardware during the defense.

Is this useful without an ECE degree?

Yes — the track is open to any engineering stream, though ECE students will find the hardware concepts familiar.
