The NSF I/UCRC Consortium for Embedded Systems at Southern Illinois University expired in March of 2023

The NSF Center for Embedded Systems (CES) was a research collaboration between academia (Southern Illinois University Carbondale and Arizona State University), Industry (leading embedded systems companies throughout the world), and government agencies (the National Science Foundation and other agencies). Its purpose is to advance the field of embedded systems (hardware, software, and architectures) to new levels; thereby, sharing resulting advancements and commercializing applications in automotive, aerospace, and micro-electronics to advance commerce.

CES was founded by the National Science Foundation as an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) in 2009 as a multi-university center between Arizona State University and Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The Center conducts industry-university research projects that are funded by its industry members, the NSF, and the two participating Universities. CES sponsors an internship program, provides research support for students and faculty, and administers a relevant embedded systems curriculum.
