Microprocessors and Microcontrollers If you have not passed that subject or you need to revisit it, you can take the OCW course titled "Sistemas Digitales basados en Microprocesador", offered by UC3M in: https://ocw.uc3m.es/course/view.php?id=260 (only available in Spanish, but you can contact the subject coordinator to get material in English).

By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding of electronic equipment and systems to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems related to the industrial communication using established methods. 2. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to develop and realise designs of electronic systems for industrial communications to meet defined and specified requirements. 3. An understanding of design methodologies of electronic systems for industrial communications, and an ability to use them. 4. Workshop and laboratory skills. 5. An understanding of applicable techniques and methods in the design of electronic systems for industrial communications, and of their limitations.

RA2.1: The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems using established methods. RA3.1: The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to develop and realise designs to meet defined and specified requirements. RA3.2: An understanding of design methodologies, and an ability to use them. RA4.3: Workshop and laboratory skills. RA5.3: An understanding of applicable techniques and methods, and of their limitations. CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2: Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CG1: Ability to resolve problems with initiative, creativity decision-making and critical reasoning skills, and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the Industrial Engineering area. CG3: Capacity to design a system, component or process in the area of electronic and automatic engineering in compliance with required specifications. CE12: Applied knowledge of electronics for industrial communications.

The above course competences and skills provide skills within the program outcomes, through different activities. For each program outcome, we briefly describe the activities provided within the course: - In the course, exercises are held where students have to complete/develop their programs to meet requirements. They are asked to interpret electronic circuit schematics, block diagrams and flowcharts. - The course includes a laboratory design exercise, with an initial set of specifications that the students must meet by the end of the term. The problem is a manageable version of an electronic system design, where the students must solve using the given resources (Microcontroller Development Board, Debugger, peripherals). - Design and analysis examples are presented to the students as guidance on good programming practices and electronic design techniques, showing how to apply specific peripherals to solve different problems. - The students must be able to comment their program code appropriately, develop program flow diagrams, use schematic capture programs for their designs. This will be evaluated comprehensively in laboratory works. - The students are required to work using engineering tools such as a Microcontroller Integrated Development Environment (IDE) program, use a Development Board, as well as a Debugger.
