The growing features in electronics products adds complexity and challenges for design engineers. The survey states that writing, debugging and verifying consumes largest marker share of embedded development boards.

Engineers have to face various, sometimes even contrary challenges in  terms of time, cost and customer requirements. As an embedded engineer,

it is often your duty to complete projects under severe time constraints.

Given this task, how can you proceed from concept to specification,

prototype and final product with maximum efficiency and design  integrity? In other words, how to meet best the time and cost objectives while ensuring the best quality of your embedded design?

More complex software needs more capable tools, not only to write the code in the first place, but also to make sure it does what the developer intended. And when the software is used in a critical elements of a system, it may well need to be written to a particular standard and tested against it. Then there are operating system issues, as well as security concerns.

Why Study Embedded Systems?

Embedded systems are playing important roles in our lives everyday, even though they might not necessarily be visible. Some of the embedded systems we use every day control the menu system on television, the timer in a microwave oven, a cell phone, an MP3 player or any other device with some amount of intelligence built-in. In fact, recent poll data shows that embedded computer systems currently outnumber humans in the USA. Embedded systems are a rapidly growing industry where growth opportunities are numerous.
First reason why we need embedded systems is because general-purpose computers, like PCs, would be far too costly for the majority of products that incorporate some form of embedded system technology. Another reason why we need embedded systems is because general-purpose solution might also fail to meet a number of functional or performance requirements such as constraints in power-consumption, size-limitations, reliability or real-time performance etc.
