Microcontroller-Based Embedded System Design and Implementation towards Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

The United Nations approved the 17 Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to implement a sustainable world by 2030. It was accepted that poverty and other problems in this world must be resolved jointly in the areas of poverty, health, energy, education, gender inequality, economic growth, environment and climate changes, social issues, collection and preservation of natural resources above and below this earth, etc. The 17 SDGs encompass 169 sub-targets to be attained by 2030. For this purpose, we need a coordinated and concerted effort by all signatory countries. Engineering design research, innovations, development, and commercialization can support us in the venture. In this talk, the emphasis would be given to the recent research and innovative product development of the microcontroller-based embedded system design to realize the 17 SDGs within the stipulated time frame, and as such, we will be able to attain both societal and economic impacts for viable progress. Here, I shall also concentrate on a few goals to demonstrate how the microcontroller-based embedded system design and development can help us in this regard. These areas are good health and well-being, quality education, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, life below water, and life on land. Finally, we are confident that the microcontroller-based embedded system design is very chip and so, electronic engineers find it easy to resolve complex engineering problems to achieve specific SDGs, and hence to realize a sustainable world for humanity.
