Dear Student
Welcome to the Microprocessor Engineering module (16-7210). Please read the information below.
The assignments will be posted during the course of the semester, at least three weeks before their due date. Programming assignments will be demonstrated in the normal laboratory session. Programs are evaluated on the correctness of the code and the output, the readability & layout of the code, and the correct usage of the concepts discussed in the lectures. Appropriate and correct use of hardware features of the microprocessor system is also considered.
Please feel free to contact myself if you have any questions about this unit.

16-7210 -Microprocessor Engineering
This unit is assessed through coursework and examination (50% coursework, 50% examination). Normally there will be a formative series of lab exercises and a major assessed assignment. The major assignment will be a demanding problem typically requiring the development of a complete microprocessor/microcontroller system for a specific application. The major assignment will be assessed in part by a formal written report.
