Course Overview
Central to the safe and controlled working of electric vehicles are embedded systems with microcontrollers programmed by embedded programming languages. These languages are used to develop embedded systems that control specific features in EVs. As there are multiple interconnected microcontrollers in electric vehicles, engineers aspiring to work on the development of embedded systems for EV applications must have a hands-on understanding of Embedded software programming.

User Interfaces for Working with “Sets”
In this project, you will have to use the C programming language to implement interfaces for mathematical set theory. This requires the development of two linked lists and the implementation of interfaces to perform certain functions such as insertion, display, union, and intersection.
Finite State Machine for Aircraft Landing Gear System
You will have to develop a code using C programming to control the retraction and extension of an airplane’s landing gear. The objective of this project is to implement logic for extending and retracting gears using a Finite State Machine Algorithm in C language.
Automobile Maintenance System
Build an object-oriented library that can be used to track automobile maintenance. There will be a set of syntax given, which the students have to use in order to create the library.
