Course Objectives: The primary objective is to provide the students with the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and ability to design and implement “real” embedded systems.

Topics Covered: The topics covered vary with the design projects chosen each term. They are chosen to support the design effort. In addition presentations are given on various topics in embedded system design

Class/Laboratory Schedule: Lecture: two one-hour sessions per week; Laboratory: one three-hour session per week

Professional Component Contributions: The course contributes to the one and a half years of engineering science and design requirement, in particular the design requirement
