Course Objective

The aim of the course is to complement the knowledge base of the students with the programming, circuitry, componets and design of embedded systems in order to provide them with capabilities they can use as soon they graduate.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Recognize the basic building blocks and components of embedded systems and microcontrollers.
2   Recognize and define the categories, properties, features, design criteria and example hardawre of embedded systems.
3   Define and design digital systems and circuits of embedded systems, differentiate the properties of embedded systems and microcomputers.
4   Recognize and use state diagrams, tables, timing diagrams in embedded systems
5   Analyze the low power design, electrical requirements and techniques of preventing electrical hazards.
6   Recognize and use the properties, features, instructions and circuit connections of an embedded system's microcontroller.
7   Locate, recognize and use the software and programming tools of embedded systems.
