Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

  1. Give example of embedded systems and their applications and describe the special requirements that are set to develop such systems.
  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
