Welcome to MPG!

MPG is an extracurricular embedded systems program offered by Engenuics at the University of Calgary and expanding to other universities across Canada with "MPG Remote." It is now in its 12th consecutive year at the U of C and has grown to become a unique supplementary curriculum for students in 2nd, 3rd and 4th year Electrical, Computer and Software engineering. MPG is taught free-of-charge though students may purchase their own development board used in each course at cost. Learn more about MPG here. Why would you want to join MPG as a student?

Welcome to the second half of MPG!

MPG Level 1 and MPG Level 2 will run concurrently on Mondays from 4:00pm - 7:00pm from January 14 to April 1, 2013. Most of your time will be spent working in the labs, but there will be some brief instruction every few meetings. Instruction time for MPG Level 1 is 4:05 - 4:25pm; instruction time for MPG Level 2 is 5:05pm - 5:25 pm. Lectures will be webcast as a Google Hangout from the Engenuics Google+ page, and then immediately available on the Engenuics You Tube channel.
