SYSEN 5020

Creating Solutions with Embedded Systems

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

With the number of embedded systems in the world far exceeding the number of humans, nearly every major piece of technology involves one, if not several embedded systems. Students will understand the capabilities and challenges that come in creating embedded systems and the larger systems that rely upon them -- not becoming experts in embedded systems, but being able to work more effectively with those experts. This hands-on course will also not only introduce core embedded systems concepts, such as hardware peripherals, interrupt service routines, realtime programming, digital i/o, A2D converters, and interfacing with sensors, etc., but will also introduce related systems engineering principles to aid students in making smart and well-supported design choices, manage design interfaces, and provide justification on whole solution trade-offs.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Corequisite: SYSEN 5100.

• Develop and implement a basic systems architecture for an embedded system that includes digital and analog sensors utilizing interrupts.
• Demonstrate various digital communication protocols and develop associated interface identification and specification design documentation.
• Identify embedded system solution requirements and means of verification.
