Versatile Global Education Pvt. Ltd.

Overview:- This graduate certificate program is designed to enhance and build on the theoretical knowledge gained from studies in electrical engineering and provides students with training in various electrical technologies, embedded systems and computer aided design (CAD) with a focus on automation, robotic and control systems.

Topics related to the business of electronics, entrepreneurship, importing, exporting and renewable and sustainable energies will be reviewed. An applied capstone project will provide students with the opportunity to design, implement and manage real world solutions using skills in industrial communications, supervision, project management and documentation.

This course focuses on written and verbal communication skills. Students learn to prepare a variety of professional documents. In addition, students learn about research methods and documentation formats. The principles of effective writing – organization, grammar, style, clarity, and tone – are reinforced throughout the course. Students will also practice oral communication skills in a variety of situations. The goal of the course is to prepare students for the communication tasks and considerations they will encounter in the workplace and/or future education in order to meet the needs of employers and/or the communities they will serve. This course will also help to prepare students for their work in COMM-6028.

Students will prepare interim reports, submit final project documentation and present the results of their practical field project to peers using effective written and oral communication strategies. Students will examine the values, customs and communication styles of cultural groups, with an emphasis on implications for business. An understanding of different cultures and cross-cultural challenges will provide students with a framework for professional conduct and international business communications.

This course covers topics related to electronic circuit construction, prototyping and testing using current quality assurance standards. Methods, requirements and acceptance of circuit rework, repair and modifications of electronic and cable/wire harness assembles is studied. Students will design a project using printed circuit board design software and create and verify prototypes of circuits while using test equipment safely.

This course covers practical electronic circuit design, simulation, prototyping and testing, including amplification, voltage regulation, power supply design, and sensor and signal conditioning circuits. Other topics related to electronic systems design are investigated.

This course will introduce students to programming and testing of embedded systems through project based experience. Working in teams, students will configure, implement and test embedded systems prototypes to provide real-world solutions.

This course builds on information learned in Embedded Systems 1, with a focus on design, networking and Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS). Students will participate in hands-on design, configuration, implementation and testing of a prototype of a networked embedded system with an RTOS.

In this course, students will work in teams to plan, implement and evaluate industry related projects that integrate key concepts of electronic and embedded systems development. Working collaboratively, students will research, design and verify electronic and embedded systems including documentation of results according to industry accepted standards and ethical principles. Problem solving, communication and time management skills will be emphasized.

This course will review the government jurisdictions, regulatory agencies and legislation that supports compliance and sustainability within the electronics industry. Through independent research and case studies, students will complete a baseline assessment and develop an action plan by applying key concepts within a sustainability framework to solve industry related problems. Students will develop the communication, analytical and critical thinking skills required to be effective advocates of change.

Students will develop a business plan that integrates marketing and entrepreneurship strategies within a global economy. Risk management tools related to importing, exporting, taxation, product liability and intellectual property and competition will be examined. Students will investigate best practices for the successful and legal exchange of goods and services across borders, including export support services and programs available to many Canadian companies.

Students will be introduced to project management principles, including how to manage the components and tasks related to complex projects involving multiple individuals and teams. Through a structured multi-tiered approach, students will identify and manage risks associated with project development and implementation

Employers from more traditional electronic engineering companies as well as specialized controls and systems companies are all expected to move forward with embedded systems projects and will be employing people with this specific training and education. Graduates can expect to be employed in the following areas; electronics engineer, firmware developer, embedded systems developer, embedded hardware developer/designer, embedded software developer/designer, embedded solution tester, and quality control professional.
