Objective

After completing the course, the student:can apply modern design methods and tools in embedded software design.has up-to-date knowledge on current topics in embedded software

Content

The course covers current topics in embedded software. See implementation plan for details.

Materials

1) Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques to Build Intelligent Systems 2nd Edition by Aurélien Géron, OREILLY, 2020

2) Hands-on Scikit-Learn for Machine Learning Applications, by David paper, Apress publications, 2020

3) Guide to intelligent data analysis: how to intelligently make sense of real data. by Berthold, Michael R., et al. Springer Science & Business Media, 2010.

Teaching methods

The course includes theoretical lectures, mandatory practical lab works, self-study/ home assignments, and a final project work.

NOTE: Due to the current pandemic, remote implementation of the lab works is still one possibility, so be prepared for last notice changes.

Exam schedules

Exam dates will be announced (it would be most likely the next session after the last lecture)

Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

Lectures (onsite and online lectures will be arranged)
Self-study materials from online sources
Project work (will be discussed during the course)
Exam (the date will most likely the next session after the last lecture in December.)
