Can mechanical engineers work in embedded systems?

A Mechanical Engineer can work with robotics and Embedded Software. 90\% of Robotics is Mathematics and 90\% of Embedded is C programming. Both are common for all the Engineering fields. So not only Mechanical, any engineering specialization can work on Robotics & Embedded.

Why are you interested in embedded systems?

Embedded Makes You Solve Hard Problems The software is concurrent (often using both interrupts and threads), must respect timing constraints from hardware devices and from the outside world, and must gracefully deal with a variety of error conditions.

Are embedded systems tough?

Embedded systems are hard, because in addition to knowing how to program, an embedded systems programmer needs to be comfortable dealing at a low-level with proprietary hardware which is often different from one project to the next.

Why many students are not interested in embedded systems?

Many students are not aware of the lucrative opportunities available in the field of Embedded Systems. Most graduates go after the popular “IT” industry to seek a good career. I think there are 2 reasons for this 1)lack of awareness 2) entry barrier.

How to start creating embedded systems applications?

The first thing you need to do to start creating applications is to learn a programming language. As embedded boards have improved, there are now many available programming languages to choose from. In this post, you are going to learn about the C, C++, and QML programming languages and what they offer.

What is embedded programming and how does it work?

Embedded applications let you face programming from a whole new perspective. In embedded programming, your application will interact with the real world. This interaction will let you solve real-world problems. Embedded and general-purpose programming are very similar, but they have two important differences:

What are the skills required to learn embedded systems?

This question deserves its existence because learning embedded systems is totally meshed up. Reason behind this is that embedded systems development requires concepts and skills from many different branches like electronics, electrical engg. ,analog interfacing, computer science, computer organization etc.
