Microcontrollers, sensors, and real‑time software – the backbone of modern aircraft. This major is for members who want to build, program, and test embedded systems with a focus on aerospace applications.
To become the reference student group for embedded aerospace skills — where members confidently design, prototype and debug real-time systems, from Arduino experiments to more complex avionics interfaces, bridging the gap between code and hardware.
—”from blink to fly‑by‑wire”
Enable members to master microcontrollers through intensive hands‑on work: weekly skill‑builder sessions, small‑team sensor projects, and a semester‑long integrated embedded challenge — all while building a safety‑conscious, collaborative hardware culture.
hands‑on Arduino every two weeks — from digital I/O and PWM to reading sensors (IMU, pressure) and driving actuators. Each session ends with a mini‑challenge.
Teams of 2‑3 design a small embedded system: attitude indicator replica, servo‑driven gauge, or environmental sensor node. Emphasis on reading datasheets and debugging.
End‑of‑semester group project to build a functional aerospace‑inspired embedded prototype (e.g., air data computer simulator, landing gear controller). Presented at the final review.
Working with Microcontrollers (Arduino) · from bare‑metal blink to sensor fusion, embedded C++, and basics of real‑time behaviour.
All hands‑on work starts with Arduino Uno / Nano. We then branch out to other MCUs (ESP32, STM32) for more advanced avionics tasks. This semester every pod uses the Arduino ecosystem to prototype, measure, and log.
Avionics & Embedded Systems major – part of Aero Nova’s technical divisions. We build the intelligence inside aerospace systems, from sensor to display. All skill levels welcome; prior coding experience is helpful but not required.
The major follows a project‑based learning model: each semester alternates between core microcontroller skills (Arduino, bare‑metal) and deeper avionics topics like CAN bus, RTOS basics, or flight data acquisition. This semester: foundation with Arduino. Next: real‑time operating systems & integration.
