Abstract

The New Jersey Institute of Technology´s Electrical Engineering Technology program has developed an advanced microprocessor course that teaches systems integration, and develops the skills required to minimize development design time and costs. The course uses the generic technical concepts of microprocessor technology as a vehicle to learn the basic concepts of the system integration process. It also emphasizes the use of available and reusable technologies to develop systems and products as well as the importance of documentation and test planning. This paper describes the content of the course with regard to the basic steps of the systems integration process
