Other Information
This course is delivered in a cluster (Microprocessor Fundamentals) in conjunction with "EEET6744C Enter and verify operationg instructions in mocroprocessor equipped devices" and "EEET6745C Develop and test basic specification for microcontroller equipped devcies" . All the learning and assessment activities will include the components of both UEENEED005B and UEENEED028B.
In this cluster, minimum student directed hours are 16 in addition to 64 scheduled teaching hours.
Student directed hours involve completing activities such as reading online resources, project work, individual student-teacher course-related consultation, lab reports.
