| Teaching Methods | Contact hours using “Flipped Classroom” as an active learning technique. |
| Homework and Projects | There will be assignments with these topics: 1. Binary arithmetic, 2. Microprocessor architecture 3. Microprocessor programming 4. Microprocessor programming with interrupts 5. Co-processors. Some will be given as quizzes, depending on the classroom/lab availability.
There will be a group project on microprocessor-based system design. Forming groups with at least 1 EE and 1 COMP students is encouraged. Project demo and presentations is open to all faculty members; COMP and EE department members are explicitly invited.
|
| Laboratory Work | Students will carry out experiments on the following topics: programming a microprocessor for simple I/O operation, programming a microprocessor using interrupts and sub-routines, building a microprocessor-based system on evaluation board. Students are required to get prepared for their lab work beforehand by using off-text book learning strategies, when needed. Students carry out lab work with their lab mates. Lab time is limited; therefore, they need to plan their teamwork accordingly. There are at least 7 lab sessions. First lab session is not reported, is not graded. |
| Computer Use | Laboratory work requires computer usage for microprocessor programming. Homework assignments require using computer aided design tools and emulators, too. |

Policies:
Missing a midterm: Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up exam will be given for the missed midterm. Make-up exam is scheduled within the 7 days that the student does not have an excuse anymore.
Missing a final/project: Faculty regulations.
Homework assignments are due 2 weeks after it is announced. Late ones are not accepted unless a faculty approved excuse is presented.
All exams are in closed-notes and closed-books format. Necessary instruction set and manuals will be provided or brought by the student.
To be eligible of submitting the final project, you should attend 5 out of 7 lab sessions, collect 160pnt out of 800 from lab reports and homework and your midterm score should be at least 20 (out of 100).
Anyone with a final project score lower than 20 (out of 100) will fail.
