Microcontroller and Industrial Applications (Coursera)

Today, there exists a changing paradigm for every organization towards Digital Transformation in alignment with rapid growth of Industrial Automation. As automation impacts the business-returns directly, every organization, be it Designing, Manufacturing, Assembling or Logistics sector, sincerely is getting transformed as Digital Industries. One of the key elements underneath this transformation is, the evaluation of multi-featured, high speed, tiny microcontrollers. The global Microcontroller market estimate is with 7.6% CAGR during 2021-2023.This in turn is creating a large job space for Engineering community in the next decade in Digital Transformation domain. The major objective of this course is to equip learners towards such job space of Engineers.

Data Structures and Performance (Coursera)

How do Java programs deal with vast quantities of data? Many of the data structures and algorithms that work with introductory toy examples break when applications process real, large data sets. Efficiency is critical, but how do we achieve it, and how do we even measure it? This is an intermediate Java course. We recommend this course to learners who have previous experience in software development or a background in computer science, and in particular, we recommend that you have taken the first course in this specialization (which also requires some previous experience with Java).
