Abstract

A course at Penn State University-Erie is discussed which builds upon the students´ introductory courses in microprocessors and digital design. The objectives of this course are to introduce problem solving under uncertainty, the product development process, and low-level interfacing. The course consists of two one-half lectures and one two-hour lab per week for sixteen weeks. Approximately one sixth of the lectures are spent on the product development process, one third on learning the architecture and assembly language of the 8051 microcontroller, and the remaining lectures on specific design problems
