By the end of this course, students will have developed a comprehensive skill set enabling them to confidently tackle complex challenges in the realm of embedded programming. They will be adept at creating software solutions that harmonize with hardware components, managing process scheduling, optimizing code for efficiency, and effectively programming external I/O devices. Graduates of this program will be well-prepared to contribute to industries that rely on embedded systems, such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation.
This is a face-to-face course with lectures, instructor led programming examples, and in-class labs.
Attendance is mandatory for all classes. Attendance will be taken and will count towards participation credit. Students should notify me at least 48 hours in advance of intent to miss a class to arrange alternate schedules for in-class assignments.
All course related communication should be via Canvas message. Each student is responsible for checking his/her FGCU email at least once a day. The instructor will respond to your emails within 24 hours except weekends and holidays.
There is no grace period for late submission of assignments. All assignments with due dates and times will be posted on Canvas. Alternate schedules can be arranged ahead of time with instructor approval.
Students are to work independently on all non-group assignments. It is cheating to see other classmate's work or let other classmates see yours. This does not mean you cannot assist or discuss assignments with your classmates.
Student submissions that contain work from another student or source will receive a zero for that assignment. A second occurrence will result in failing the class, and the academic sanction will be reported to the Dean of Students.
Individual problems and small programs worked outside of class.
Written exams taken in class.
Individual or team project worked outside of class.
In class quizzes and labs, attendance, and overall participation.
