In this module you will be introduced to the fundamental concepts and principles common to modern computer systems, including the underpinning mathematics where required. This will enable you to develop an understanding of abstraction, data and number representation. You will use a programming language to develop solutions to problems using algorithms and applying computer logic. For the practical work you will use a simple, inexpensive computer that you will study from both software and hardward perspectives. This will culminate in you developing and testing a complete system to meet the requirements specified.

In this module, students will learn the fundamentals of programming in the context of embedded systems. Students will develop software and hardware projects using a selected embedded system. Students will learn the basics of programming in a low-level programming language. No prior knowledge of low-level programmimg will be assumed. Students will also learn basic electronics so that they can understand how to connect various input and output devices to the embedded system so that they may be controlled using the low-level programming language. Students will learn about the use of sensors and actuators to create hardware systems based on an embedded system.

Module: 4CS015
