Engineering 390es - Seminar: Advanced Topics in Engineering-Embedded Systems

Embedded systems use digital computer hardware to build application specific solutions, requiring a combination of mechanical, electrical and software skills. The control of many modern devices, such as automobiles, industrial machines and wearable devices, all utilize embedded design. This hands-on course guides students through the prototyping of an 8-bit microcontroller-based system: from schematic drawings, to physical wiring of components and finally to assembly-level programming to realize interrupt-based functionality. Concepts such as computer system architecture, interrupt-driven real-time control and serial communication are covered. Prerequisite: EGR 220. Engineering majors only. Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 12.
