Course Description

This course is prepared for summer fifth year electromechanical engineering students.
It designed to equip students with the conceptual framework and component of
embedded systems and digital control. This course covers Introduction to digital control
&embedded systems, Microprocessors
and microcontrollers, Atmel AVR Architecture and programing in c language, Discrete
control systems and the z-transform.
This course will be delivered by using student centered approach, interactive lecture
method, project wok and some laboratory demonstration. Students ‘achievement will
be basically accessed by quiz, group assignment, test and final examination.

Course objective

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:

 Explain the fundamental differences between microprocessors and
microcontrollers.
 Explain the architecture of 8051microcontroller, PIC (PIC16F84, PIC16F877)
Microcontrollers, 8086 microprocessors, Atmel AVR, and DSP IC their
instruction set and should be able to program them
 Use microcontrollers for any application in the real world, which involves
interfacing microcontrollers to the real time systems
 Develop PIC16F877a microprocessor program
 Use the simulators, programmers & debuggers and also should be able
to use the microcontroller kits.
