Overall Educational Objective

To learn fundamentals of both object-oriented programming and embedded systems programming, and to gain practical skills through real-world engineering examples.

Course Description

This course covers the fundamentals of object-oriented programming such as classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and modular design. The second part focuses on programming embedded systems using basic microcontroller platforms with GPIO, timers, interrupts, ADC, and serial communication.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) design object-oriented algorithms to produce solutions
2) design modular and reusable code using object-oriented principles
3) implement object-oriented computer programs to model engineering systems and solve engineering problems
4) program embedded systems using low-level coding
5) use timers, ADCs, and GPIOs to interact with hardware
6) implement small-scale embedded projects from concept to test

Program Learning Outcomes/Course Learning Outcomes	1	2	3	4	5	6
1) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2) An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4) An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5) An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6) An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7) An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

However, latecomers beyond 15 minutes will not be allowed to enter the class until a break. After the break, latecomers beyond 5 minutes will not be allowed to enter the class until the next break. Rules for quiz: Quizzes will be pop quizzes without any prior announcement. Moreover, once the quiz starts, no one is allowed to enter the classroom until the quiz ends. Missing a prework, HW, quiz: No make-up will be given. Missing a midterm: Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, either a make-up exam will be given for each missed midterm exam or the grade of the second exam will be given as the grade of the first exam. If the second exam is missed, provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up exam will be given. Missing a project: No make-up will be given. Moreover, for the final project, if a student does not submit the report or does not show up during the demo/presentation without a proper document of excuse, she/he will automatically fail from the course. Passing Criterion: In order to pass the course with a letter grade of D, a student must obtain at least 50% from each exam and the project and at least 60% overall score when the weighted combination of all assessments is considered. The detailed letter grade table is uploaded to LMS.
