CC2511 - Embedded Systems Design

Credit points:	03
Year:	2009
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:	Discipline of Electrical & Computer Engineering

The design of microprocessor based systems for instrumentation and consumer electronics: microprocessor programming; microprocessor architecture; peripherals; interfacing techniques; assembly language programming and testing; programmable integrated circuits; computer aided design (CAD) tools for circuit schematic and printed circuit board design and manufacture; a design project to demonstrate interfacing and real time control of electro-mechanical systems.

Learning Outcomes

• ability to justify the design techniques used in the design project and communicate this to others;
• the design and construction of microprocessor based embedded systems using computer aided design tools;
• understanding of techniques for interfacing instrumentation sensors and actuators for the operation of computer controlled electro-mechanical systems;
• understanding the hardware and software design of real time microprocessor based instrumentation and control systems.
