5. Specific course information:
a. Catalog description of
the content of the course:
The
course introduces microcontroller structure and gives instructions to students
on the basic concepts of designing and implementing microcontroller circuits to
control and communicate with popular peripherals and actuators. The student
knows the subject of currently applied microcontrollers and knows the area of
their uses. The student also knows basic integrated programming environments
enabling the designing of the application. This course is practice-based. Each
lesson includes a brief lecture, then students work on practical projects.
b. Prerequisites: Circuit theory (EEE703055); Microeletronics
Circuit Design (EEE704074); Sensor technology (EEE703040); Object-Oriented
Programming (CSE703029).
