EET 129 - Introduction to Embedded Systems

3 Credit(s)

Recommended Prerequisite(s): MTH 20 or designated placement.

Course Description: Provides students with a hands-on introduction to embedded systems and basic electronic interfacing circuits. Introduces DC circuits that are used with embedded systems. Explores the use of embedded C programming language to control a microcontroller to turn on and off LEDs, motors, and speakers. Enhanced learning provided by practical lab projects and programming to implement decisions based on input conditions to control output interface circuits. The lab assignments provide opportunities for increased knowledge and proficiency in the proper use of industry-standard electronics test equipment. A 2-hour per week open-laboratory or online remote work required. Some labs and projects can be done remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.
