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.
