Learning Outcomes
After the course, the student can tell about the main parts and structure of emebedded systems and microcontrollers. Student can distinguish the main program structures and is able to design, build, program and test small embedded systems. The course will give ability to understand the desing of embedded systems from the device’s as well as from the software’s point of view. After the course, the student understands the basics of design and programming of embedded systems, and student knows how to implement peripheral devices to a part of a given embedded system.
Student's Workload
135 h, which contains 50 h of scheduled contact studies.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Safety at Work and Electrical Safety at Work, Introduction to Programming, Electronics, Digital Electronics, understanding of DC and AC circuits.
