Purpose
To give the students at an application level to construct a real time embedded system.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

To enable students at an application level to gain knowledge to make analysis, design and implementation of real time embedded systems.

• Must have knowledge and understanding real time embedded systems
• Must have knowledge of programming concepts and embedded programming
• Must have knowledge the software engineering practices in the embedded software development
• Must have knowledge of real time operating systems
• Must have knowledge of hardware and software co design for a real time embedded system
• Must have knowledge of processors for embedded systems
• Must have knowledge of scheduling  and guaranties on deadlines

Skills

• Must be able to make analysis of real time including embedded systems
• Must be able to design and develop an embedded systems
• Must be able program and test a real time embedded system
• Must be able to understand and analyse various embedded systems
• Must be able to understand and analyse scheduling and guaranties on deadlines for embedded systems

Competences

• Must be able to handle real time embedded systems and laboratory setups in study- or work-related contexts
• Must be able to independently engage in professional and interdisciplinary collaboration with a professional approach within the context of real time embedded systems
• Must be able to identify his/her own learning needs within the real time systems including the embedded systems and structure such learning accordingly.

Type of instruction

The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine skills and reflection: • Lectures • Classroom instruction • Project work • Workshops • Exercises (individually and in groups) • Teacher feedback • Reflection • Portfolio work

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 5 ECTS course module, the work load is expected to be 150 hours for the student.

Exam

Exams
