Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Participate in individual and team problem solving scenarios/ case studies dealing with a range of practical exercises related to:
· Analysis and design of combinational logic circuits
· Analysis and design of sequential logic circuits
· Programming CPLDs using WINCUPL
· Programming of Microcontroller peripherals
· Interface microcontroller to external hardware devices
· Plan, manage and evaluate projects2.
Participate in individual small research projects in designated areas of underpinning knowledge including:
· Microcontroller Architecture· Programming microcontrollers using C and assembly language
· Configuration of microcontroller subsystems
· Interfacing techniques3
Participate in supervised workshop practice in simulated workplace environment, including:
· Design and construction and testing of a microcontroller based hardware system that uses various microcontroller peripherals/systems i.e. SPI, SCI, Timers, etc. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application.
· Development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and rectify the fault. Specifications will be provided

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 further courses related to the competency are completed and the student is deemed competent.
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Progressive Written Assessment
• Written Assignments
• Scheduled Practical Exercises
• Work Simulation Projects
• Case Studies
Assessment Tasks
1. A practical assignment on combinational and sequential logic design
2. A project on design, construction and testing of a microprocessor based system
3. A final examination
4. Project report (compulsory)To pass this course, student must complete the project work to specifications, pass the written examination and submit a well documented project report.
