5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. The students will learn how to design, build, and debug simple microcontroller based systems. (Criteria 3(a),(b),(c))

2. The students will be introduced to the concept of in circuit development as a development tool. (Criterion 3(k))

3. The students will learn how to use a development environment, along with software support such as text editors,

assemblers, etc. in the development of system designs. (Criterion 3(k))

4. The students will learn about applications of microprocessors/microcontrollers to serial communications, data acquisition,

etc. (Criteria 3(c),(e))

5. The students will work in groups of 2 to 4 and thereby learn how to cooperate in teams. (Criterion 3(d))
