June 8th Meeting: Lessons learned in an Embedded Systems Course

(Note room change to building 3 (extending through August). Details and maps)

The June  talk will be about what Craig Cook learned between January and May 2015 working on a MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) – “Embedded Systems – Shape the world” provided via edX by lecturers from the University of Austin, Texas, Jonathan Valvano and Ramesh Yerraballi.

Craig Cook has been working in IT since the mid 90’s. Most of his career has been working as a Systems Administrator where computers have plenty of Memory and CPU power and they run an operating system.
Recently Craig became interested in small computers like the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. He wanted to learn more about them. After reading a post to Triembed about an upcoming edX course on embedded systems he decided it was time to jump in.
