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
Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development
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.
