  2. Be able to use modern integrated development environments for micro-controller/processor programming and their functionality for testing and troubleshooting.
  3. Explain the structure of control circuits and built-in processors
  4. Develop micro-controller programs for mechatronic applications including the use of I/O and external units.
  5. Apply knowledge in programming, and to a lesser extent in digital technology and automatic control, in the design and realization of control software on distributed embedded systems.
  6. Describe, explain and use software platforms, specific real-time operating systems (RTOS) and and network protocols
