CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    In future an electronics designer must have an understanding of a hardware-software interface and of restrictions a hardware can cause for softwares. Also a design methodology requires a good basic knowledge in programming, as programming is widely utilized in electronics design. On the course one becomes acquainted with a design process of an electronic device in a way, where modelling, simulation and finally controlling and operating system are connected to be one programmatic ensemble.

    On the course a student develops his/her programming skills in a way which promotes hardware design and the course familiarizes the student with the powerful prorgammatic methods from an electronics design perspective. The course familiarizes the student with typical designing environments and different stages of the programmatic harware design from the modelling to the implementation are went through. The course provides to students an excellent starting point to improve their know-how in programming and in hardware design in their further studies.
