Embedded systems courses can help you learn programming languages like C and C++, real-time operating systems, hardware interfacing, and system design principles. You can build skills in debugging, optimizing performance, and integrating sensors and actuators into devices. Many courses introduce tools such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi, which are commonly used for prototyping, along with simulation software that aids in testing and validating system behavior.
