Why is Embedded Systems design important to students?

Electronic devices are rapidly finding applications in many of the areas, from simple coffee vending machines to space science to environmental friendly products such as big belly etc. Indian embedded market worth $5.9 billion dollars, and expects 30 % growth by 2015. This will certainly increase the demand of professionals in the field of embedded systems.
