MCU Tips n Tricks Seminar

Featured

Time: 10:30 am, October 2nd, 2023

Location: A3-41, Progress Campus

Abstract: Engineering design is all about making the right trade-offs to achieve end user requirements. In this presentation we will uncover some of the common trade-offs that are made in designing products, which should help you in the analysis and planning for your design project. We will also uncover common hardware and firmware issues that come up when developing microcontroller-based projects.

Presenter: Dennis Cecic, P. Eng., IEEE member, is a Principal Technical Training Engineer with Microchip Technology Inc. He is both a subject matter expert in 8, 16 and 32-bit Microcontrollers, Embedded Firmware and IoT applications, as well as an instructional designer, helping other Engineers design effective e-learning experiences. He holds a B. Eng. Degree in Electrical Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University).
