Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Microprocessor Engineering
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Applied Informatics, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011
Module code: PIB525
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

PIB525 (P221-0028) Applied Informatics, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 5, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
PIB225 Digital Electronics
PIB325 Computer Architecture

Learning outcomes:
By studying a modern RISC architecture, students will learn about the structure and operational principles of a microcontroller with peripheral modules, and will learn how to write programs in assembly language and the higher-level language C.
The lab course offers students the chance to extend and consolidate what they have learned by performing programming exercises and tackling selected problems.
