This course implements the techniques and concepts developed in microcontroller systems. Emphasis is placed on the use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to program a microcontroller at the register level. Skills in debugging, implementation, and demonstration of basic microcontroller systems will be developed.

Laboratory work to complement the lecture material covered in Digital Fundamentals (CPET-141). The laboratories are designed to illustrate concepts, reinforce analysis and design skills, and develop instrumentation techniques associated with the lecture topics. Students, upon completion of this course, will have the necessary skills to analyze, design, and implement introductory combinational and sequential logic circuits.

Develops skills and practice in the design, fabrication, measurement and analysis of practical DC circuits used in electronic devices. Topics include the measurement relative to: resistance, current, and voltage with circuit techniques of Ohm's Law; current and voltage division; simplification of series, parallel, series-parallel circuits: bridge and ladder networks: Kirchhoff's Laws; power; and transient circuit behavior. Laboratory verification of DC analytical and techniques is included. Printed circuit board (PCB) design, fabrication, and assembly is also included emphasizing the development of soldering skill proficiency.
