Materials
The material created by the teacher is in the Itslearning workspace. In addition, the arduino and the components used have online material for studying with links to the Itslearning workspace.
Teaching methods
Distance teaching, teacher-led classroom activities, task based, independent study, teamwork, innovativeness
Exam schedules
There is no exam in the course. A passed grade cannot be raised.
International connections
During the course, students study electronics and micro-controller programming that can be connected to embedded electronics engineering skills. In the course source material in English is used, which gives students the ability to understand the literature of the International Engineer. Tasks are done as teamwork. In the course digital learning materials and an electronic learning environment is used.
Completion alternatives
No other execution methods.
Student workload
Tasks performed in the laboratory 16 h
Preparatory distance learning, as needed, approx. 4 hours
The preliminary preparation of the tasks to be performed in the laboratory, 20 h
Reporting 20 h
Content scheduling
The course is implemented in February-May.
Content:
- Getting to know the TinkerCad simulation program.
- Designing and controlling an electronic circuit by programming Arduino. Circuits contain, for example, LEDs, switches, sensors and LCD screens.
- Reporting of the tasks.

Materials
Will be announced at the beginning of the course.
Teaching methods
Hands-on lab exercises
Exam schedules
No exam.
Since there is no exam, there is no possibility to retry the course if the number of completed laboratory exercises is below the acceptance criteria.
Completion alternatives
In case the student has suitable equipment at home, it is possible to complete the laboratory exercises partially.
If the student has an existing hobby-project, the contents of the course will be matched to the hobby-project and it is possible to complete some or all of the lab exercise. This must be agreed with teacher beforehand and there must be a clear evidence of the work, like git repository + a working demo.
Content scheduling
This course is a laboratory course, where presence is mandatory. In case the student has suitable equipment at home, it is possible to complete the laboratory exercises partially.
There are 10 lab sessions in total, 4 hours each.
Further information
Teams, Git
Evaluation scale
H-5
Assessment methods and criteria
Grading will be based on the number of completed laboratory exercises. There is a possibility to select either basic level or more challenging level, which will affect the amount of work and the number of credit points, respectively.
