EE 2931 - Systems Interfacing

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
In this course students develop the ability to design complex embedded systems using microprocessors. Students construct a single-board microcomputer system which is used to control a mobile robot. Components needed for this project are purchased by the student in kitform. Concepts covered include embedded systems design, sensors and actuators, interfacing of analog and digital sensors and actuators, and electro-mechanical devices. (prereq: EE 2920 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Utilize typical micro-controller subsystems such as EEPROM, ADC, Timer, UART
  • Design embedded systems for a specific application
  • Design interrupt driven programs
  • Design complex programs for embedded systems
  • Design and conduct experiments
  • Write a professional technical report
Prerequisites by Topic
  • DC circuit analysis (EE 2050)
  • Micro-controller subsystem programming (EE 2920)
  • C programming (EE 1910)
Course Topics
  • Hardware and software interface of sensors and actuators (6 classes)
  • Mechanical system design (2 classes)
