The workshop host will present a first look into the world of embedded systems (a sub-discipline within the field of electrical/computer engineering).  Over the course of this workshop, the host will aim to cover:

•    What constitutes an embedded system
•    An introduction to micro-controllers, timers, counters, memory and RAM
•    What role interrupts play in embedded systems
•    Some real-life examples of where embedded systems are used
•    The future of embedded systems
