Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until related competency is completed and the student is deemed competent
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Written assessment
• Work Simulation Projects
• Written Assignments
• Schedule Practical Exercises

Assessment Tasks

1. Practical assignments on assembly language programming involving processing of floating point numbers, logic and conditional instructions (40%)

2. A project on design, construction and testing of a microprocessor based system that involves peripheral and hardware interfacing (45%)

3.  Project report (compulsory)

4. Written examination (15%)
