Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Laboratory work
  • Participation in classes - 52 hours per semester
  • Preparation for an exam - 46 hours per semester
  • Preparation for laboratory work and processing of results - 52 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course is focused on the principles of microprocessor technology including the practical use of microcontrollers Atmel AVR. The main goal is to manage the built-in units of these microcontrollers and to create more extensive applications.
Students will acquire a basic overview of digital and microprocessor technology, will understand basic peripheral circuits and their control. He is able to implement basic applications of microprocessor control himself.
