The Joint Lab "Wireless and Embedded System Design" was established in 2015 together with the Department of Computer Science of the University of Potsdam. In order to achieve better synergy, the Joint Lab runs offices and a hardware laboratory at Campus Griebnitzsee, right next to the Computer Science Department building. The hardware laboratory is used for teaching and research by students, staff members of the IHP, and staff members of the computer science department. In particular, the laboratory is used by students working in joint projects.

The IHP has a long tradition and extensive experience in designing and manufacturing wireless and embedded systems. This experience is passed on the students by skilled staff members of the IHP by offering courses in the field of computer engineering. By this know-how-transfer the students will receive the knowledge required to work as junior scientists in future projects hosted at the IHP and at the University of Potsdam, or in local companies working in the same field. Annually provided courses include:
- reliability and fault tolerance
- hardware architectures for AI applications
- introduction to hardware and system description languages
- chip design
Courses include lectures and practices in the hardware laboratory. Appropriate tools and hardware for microprocessor programming and for developing and testing embedded designs are provided by the IHP.
The following figure shows an overview of the offered courses:
The possible recommended assignment in bachelor (ICS) and master studies (COS) are summarized in the following figures:
