Learning and Teaching Strategies:
• The module is delivered in computer laboratory, in which class activities are inter-mixed
with lecture, demonstration and hands-on exercises to help student to grasp a clear concept
of C programming, I/O devices, embedded systems, mobile app and web-based GUI.
• Students will have ample opportunities to practice their programming skills on arithmetic,
logical and input/output through hands-on exercises and workshops.
• Software simulator and in-circuit emulator are employed for students to master the
microcontroller operating techniques.
• Assignments are arranged at suitable intervals throughout the semester. Student progress is
continuously monitored and feedback are provided to enhance the module learning
outcomes.
• Case studies of industry applications are discussed in the class to enhance students’
knowledge of the wide applications of microcontroller in the electronic or other industries.
• Laboratory work, assignments and end-of-module assessment at suitable intervals
throughout the module are employed to monitor the progress of the students.
• ESP programming will be included as a practical example.
Assessment Scheme:
Continuous Assessment (CA) 50%
End-of-Module Assessment (EA) 50%
Total 100%
Requirements for Supporting Tools:
(a) CodeBlock, Microsoft Visual Studio, or another C debugger and builder etc.
