EEN 2270 - Embedded Controller Design

Credits: 4

Today’s computers fall into two categories. The first uses high performance microprocessors such as the Pentium Class of Processors. The second category, embedded controllers, focuses on issues of space, cost, low power and fast development in products such as wireless phones, automobiles, security systems, and washing machines. This course focuses on the second category and the Hardware and Software design of these controllers. Students will learn how to design embedded systems via both lecture and laboratory instruction. Laboratory projects will include designing, building and testing of these systems and evaluating the HW/SW tradeoffs.
Prerequisite(s): EEN 1200 and CSC 1610 or CSC 1611.
Three hours of lecture a week and one three-hour laboratory a week.
