Professor Information:
Instructor: Shadi Alawneh, PhD, Assistant Professor of Engineering

Learning Outcomes:
1. Write assembly language subroutines and call them as functions from a C program

2. Use an A/D converter to read analog signals into a microcontroller

3. Describe the output compare and input capture operations in a timer module of a microcontroller

4. Generate pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals on a microcontroller suitable for controlling the speed of a DC motor or the position of a servo

5. Describe how hardware interrupts work in a microcontroller

6. Describe how serial data can be sent from one microcontroller to another using an SCI port, an SPI port, or a CAN bus

7. Demonstrate the ability to interface external devices (including sensors) to a microcontroller (1)

8. Work in a team environment to design a microprocessor-based system and communicate the results in a written report and an oral presentation (1,2,3,5,7)
