1.3 embedded systems around us

• intro 

  • Ask AI these questions; look over the answers

    • • Where do embedded systems show up in vehicles, hospitals, and the criminal justice system? Give me one specific real example from each category.

      • Explain how a pacemaker works as an embedded system — what are its inputs, what are its outputs, and what happens if it fails? Explain it to a middle schooler.

      • What jobs exist for people who design and build embedded systems and IoT devices? What do they pay at entry level and what education do they need?

      • Connect embedded systems in vehicles to a movie or TV show I might know — where has a car's computer system played a major role in the story?

      • What is SkillsUSA and what competitive events relate to embedded computing, electronics, or IoT? What would a student need to do to compete?

      • If a pacemaker's embedded system fails because of a software bug, who should be legally responsible — the engineer, the company, or the doctor who implanted it? What does your AI think and why?

• notes 

  • • look up these definitions and add them to your living glossary 

      • arduino (the "umbrella term" and the actual microcontroller (they are two different things)

      • raspberry pi (the different models, but understand what makes them different from arduinos)

      • IoT

      • firmware developer

      • embedded systems engineer

    • notes

• examples

  • • n/a 

• assignments

  • • • 1.3 embedded systems in the real world (turn into google classroom)

      • fill out developer report on your google site (do this every class period...will grade at end of unit, but will look at time stamps)

      • make sure you have added definitions to living glossary on your google site if applicable
