  2. Know typical structure of a HEES, and use simple digital i/o ports in C (1).
  3. Know analog, digital and hybrid approaches, and use a typical AD converter of a HEES (1).
  4. Know typical control, and monitoring approaches for High End Embedded Systems (HEES)  (1).
  5. Know common cyber modeling tools and methods, and apply FSM techniques on HEES (1).
  6. Know common principles of IoT systems, and apply them on an IoT platform (1).
  7. Analyse technical requirements and design a HEES using indicators, displays, sensors and actors (1).
  8. Analyse and comment on ethical social and environmental responsibilities of an embedded system design (4).
  9. Practice an embedded system preliminary design starting from technical requirements (2).

Assessment

Method   Percentage
Labs  10%  (Lab projects each 5%) 
Quiz, and Homework
 15% (HW. 5%)
Midterm Exam
 
20% (All teams quizzes are 30%)
Design Project
 25% (Team Projects,
Report 15 %, Individual evaluation 10%)
Final Examination
 
30% (Three parts, 15% short questions, 10% longer questions, 5% oral questions)

Quiz and HW grading: Unscheduled 10-min Pop Quizzes at the end of the lecture hours. Two home works before midterm and before final. Reading home-works, and small project-home works related to details of the calculations for HLES design.

Lab grading: Six labs (0.5p each),  reports of  labs (0.5p each), and hardware implementation (about 4p). Missing more than 2 labs resets lab grade.

Policy on makeups: For eligibility to take a makeup exam, the student should bring a valid excuse (medical report) within 3 working days of the missed exam. No make-up exam for quizzes. Final and midterm make-up exams are conducted after final exam. Students may get NG if they miss both midterm and final exam.

Policy on cheating and plagiarism: Any student caught cheating at the exams or assignments will automatically fail the course and may be sent to the disciplinary committee at the discretion of the instructor.
