Software Engineering Basics for Embedded Systems (LFD116)

This course provides an introduction to the craft and associated skills for engineering high-quality systems and software for anybody who wants to create secure or safety-critical systems. It starts by explaining the basic terminology used in software engineering. It then discusses the processes that should be followed to avoid systematic risks, it articulates the benefits of adopting good software engineering practices, and provides resources that will help you increase your knowledge.

This course is designed for open source developers, product managers, security professionals, safety engineers, directors and anyone who wants to develop an embedded software system to be supported over multiple lifecycles. Learners should have some prior software development or product integration experience, ideally in open source projects, but this course is also relevant to those with only proprietary software development experience.
