Microprocessor Systems (part-time bite-sized HE course)

Studying this module will enable you to: Understand microprocessor-based systems Design software for a microprocessor-based system Design and build an interface for a programmable device What skills will I gain? During this course you will: Understand the practical aspects of device selection and interfacing of external peripheral devices Study key stages of the development cycle Investigate and compare the applications of microprocessor-based systems Experience and develop software designs and write programmes for a microprocessor-based system Consider the design of programmable interface devices Design, build, programme, test and evaluate an interface for a programmable device Select and use devices Write and test suitable software in assembler or high-level language How will I be assessed? This is an assignment-based course and there are no exams You will be continually assessed throughout the course via assignments and the production of a detailed portfolio What can I do next? Completion of the module will enable you to: Use the skills you have gained in the workplace Continue with further study and progress to the HNC/D in engineering
