Description
- Aimed at first users of Microcontroller technology
- Essential knowledge before approaching subcontractors
- Presentation/Seminar Format
- Management and strategic issues

First users of microcontroller technology must understand all the steps involved in the creation of a new
microcontroller design, project management skills alone are not enough. There must be understanding
before subcontractors are approached.
