Microcontrolled Systems

Ficha de unidade curricular - Ano letivo 2019/2020

Teaching language

Portuguese/English

Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

Introduction to the study of microcontrolled systems and the development of systems based on them. At the end of this curricular unit the student should be able to understand all the characteristics of a microcontroller system and the main associated concepts. You should also be able to build and program hardware systems based on microcontrollers.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

In the theoretical-practical classes are taught the basic concepts of each of the themes of the program. For this purpose, systematic use is made of the presentation of examples and the resolution of illustrative exercises.
Laboratory classes:
in the laboratory classes the student performs work and a laboratory project and acquires complementary knowledge through experimentation.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

There are two components of evaluation: a theoretical and a laboratory.
The theoretical evaluation can be obtained by performing the test (the minimum grade is 9.5 values). The laboratory evaluation is composed of laboratorial work (s) and a project. Each laboratory / project work is evaluated according to the student's performance in the respective classes and the report presented. All laboratory work and reports are required. The assessment component will only be completed when the deadlines have been met and after all components and other materials requested in the laboratory have been returned. Failure to submit one or more laboratory work implies disregard for discipline.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

NF = 0.6xL + 0.4xT
on what:
L = Average laboratory work
T = Mean of the test
L> = 9.50; T> = 9.50
