“The embedded computing and system designing helps in ease of operation, reduced cost of productivity and saves time”, said A P M Mohammed Hanish during the inaugural address of the Eighth International Symposium on Embedded Computing and System Design (ISED 2018) at the Seminar Complex, CUSAT.
“Our education system which is on the right path up to plus two level deviates from its goal as the students are not channelized to the right path of education due to lack of student counselling and proper co-ordination.
