One-day course teaches top 10 ways to create safer products

The growing integration of embedded systems into traditionally non-programmable devices has created an environment where the potential for human injury and property damage resulting from software malfunctions and device hacks is rapidly expanding.

Yet, according to the results of Barr Group’s 2016 Embedded Systems Safety & Security Survey, one-third of engineers working on safety-critical embedded device designs were unsure if their designs were meeting relevant safety standards.

“The opportunity for embedded software to kill or injure is growing as software control becomes the norm in safety-critical devices such as automobiles, pacemakers, trains, and many others,” said Andrew Girson, Barr Group CEO. “Our new ‘Top 10 Ways to Design Safer Embedded Software’ course is intended to teach cost-effective straightforward design techniques that can be applied to repeatedly develop safer, more reliable embedded software. To ensure that as many embedded software engineers as possible are exposed to these critically important design techniques, we have decided to price this course at just $99 and will be teaching it multiple times this year in North America and Europe.”

Barr Group’s one-day “Top 10 Ways to Design Safer Embedded Software” course will be taught in four locations this autumn:

• 20^th September  – Tysons Corner, Virginia
• 22^nd September  – San Francisco, California
• 10^th October  – Chicago, Illinois
• 9^th November  – Munich, Germany
