This is a hands-on laboratory course presents the field of embedded systems through a series of lectures and independent-study hands-on modules. Students work individually or in teams of two and complete weekly mini-projects aimed at providing a working knowledge of micro-controller programming, basic digital and analog circuits, and design of discrete-time controllers. Each of the mini-projects is implemented and tested on an electronic breadboard. The course culminates with an open-ended design project integrating the skills developed though the mini-modules. Students in the graduate section of the course are required to demonstrate an ability to design and implement closed-loop control as part of their design project.
