14-744 Mobile and Embedded Software Design

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Designing software for mobile and embedded devices is different from traditional software design. In this course, students will work with embedded devices to: consider hardware constraints in software design; explore the potential value and limitations of sensor data; assess user needs to create useful products or services; and prototype applications using sensors on embedded systems. Unlike a conventional hardware course, this course focuses on the design of application and service software. Low-level details of the processor architecture, embedded operating system, and firmware will not be addressed.

Prerequisites: none listed
