Really nice course. In special when deal with Contiki OS and Cooja Simulator to stimate ennergy consumption of nodes.
Embedded Hardware and Operating Systems

All about practical programming and creating IoTs applications! In this course, we will talk about two components of a cyber-physical system, namely hardware and operating systems. After completing this course, you will have knowledge of both hardware components and operating systems. You are able to plan and use embedded operating systems in resource-constraint devices for Internet-of-Things (cyber-physical system) applications. In addition, you can use Cooja simulation for designing and simulating wireless sensor network applications. The course offers 4 modules, each with a graded quiz in the end and finally, one peer-reviewed programming assignment. In case you have no experience with C programming, please check a practical course like: https://www.coursera.org/learn/arduino-platform. The course is actually quite fun at the end when you play around with Cooja simulation for IoTs applications. So you can create and simulate your own design for sensor network applications. A lot of features and examples of Contiki and Cooja can be explored via assignments. There are some optional assignments of wireless sensor network applications for students who want to explore more about embedded OS in IoTs applications. - Marco Ramirez /University of Turku - Igor Tcarenko/ University of Turku - Nguyen Gia Tuan /University of Turku Ideate.

Nice course to learn, hats off to coursera and faculty for their and effort support
IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND KNOWS ALL FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT AND IDEAS
Good Course. But faced difficulty in downloading and installing cotiki. So, more help is required. Thank you for the effort.
Gives good idea on embedded systems architecture and operating systems.
The Setup and Installation of software and package handling for the assignments could've been better. Overall,it was great course and a great exposure to something new!
Very Helpful and better way of learning Embedded Hardware
Final assignment is very interested but unclear and lack of supporting document or material to help student finish assignment correctly.
excellent for beginners but some questions are not clear in the last two modules
am glad by courses and certefication , thank you Coursera for the opportunity
Excellent training module and I am very much satisfied in the teaching process
Very good content with nice explanation on RTOS such as Contitki and Tiny OS
