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

Teacher-led classroom activities, task based/innovativeness, teamwork

Exam schedules

No exams

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. Exercises are done as teamwork. In the course digital learning materials and an electronic learning environment is used.

Student workload

Partification in classroom activities: at most 60 h. Self study, circuit design, microcontroller programming and reporting: 72 h.

Content scheduling

1/2022 – 4/2022: Tasks which include microcontroller (eg arduino) programming, circuit design and equipment (includes switches, sensors and LCD monitors) construction. Reporting exercises.
1/2022 - 4/2022: Designing and implementing own project related to programming a microcontroller and reporting. Own project may replace some or all of the guided tasks.
4/2022: Report deadlines.
