Embedded Technology, All around Us
1- It is estimated that in the near future, 30% of an airplane cost will be embedded systems.
2- The use of embedded systems in an airplane range from engine controls to entertainment devices to navigation equipment.
3- Aviation depends on embedded systems to process tickets, check-in luggage and manage logistics, among other critical functions.
4- Advanced car applications abound. From in-car cameras to judge the presence, weight, and position of occupants for best airbag deployment to rearview mirrors with image-recognition capabilities that sense impending rear-end collisions.
5- By 2010, over 35% of the final value of a new car will be from embedded electronics.
6- Embedded systems in a modern watch not only monitor different time zones but also register temperature, heart rate and sugar level in your blood stream.
7- Advances in electronics allow portability for a great number of everyday smart objects that rely on embedded systems to work and interact.
8- State-of-the-art automobiles use radar and laser sensors concealed in their grille to analyze road conditions. The information is fed into an on -board computer which coordinates with a global positioning system to pinpoint the precise location.
9- ABS is one of the many safety systems in a car that uses’s embedded electronics. ABS is one of themany safetysystems in a carthat uses’s embeddedelectronics.
10- Within the next five years the automotive market share of embedded systems is expected to increase by 36%.

Paris, first city in the world to study
Paris is the nicest city in the world for students, ahead of London, Boston, Melbourne and Vienna.
This is the conclusion of one study- the first of its kind- carried out by QS (Quacquarelli Symonds Ltd), a British agency specialized in university rankings, and publish [...]
ECE Student Team wins MICROSOFT’s Imagine Cup
For their first participation, the ECE students have presented a smart and useful project in the Embedded Systems category. The G.E.R.A.S (Geriatric Emergency Recognition and Assistance System) allows people to detect very quickly when an elderly person falls down, due to sensors placed on the floor of the house (even under the carpets!). This system [...]
