TWo midterm exams and one final exam. Additionally, a final project will be developed by students during the last half of the semester.


Textbook

No textbook is needed but if you want to The Art of Designing Embedded Systems by Ganssle is a good choice as is Better Embedded System Software by Koopman.


Class Materials

You will be needing the following hardware items for class:

  • Wire, tools, basic circuit components (LEDs, resistors, capacitors, etc.)
  • Arduino Uno (Doesn't have to be from Sparkfun.com)
  • Arduino MP3 Shield (Does have to be from Sparkfun.com)
  • USB Cable, standard A-to-B
  • MicroSD card*
  • 0.1" Headers 30-count*


Homework and Exam Policy

No Late Homework. Save your homework (and tests) so when I forget to enter a grade, or enter it wrong, you can show me the homework and everyone will be happy. Don’t wait till the end of the semester to ask questions about homeworks or how they were graded. I won’t be very happy, and thus, less likely to give you points back.


Please alert me to any conflicts (travels, religious observances, family things) you have with exams or turning in homeworks. If I don’t hear from you, I can’t help you.


Academic Honesty

If you use someone else’s work with out giving them credit, that’s bad and you are breaking the Honor Code. If you use someone else’s work and give them credit, that’s good, but remember you are here to learn skills that will get you a job one day. Don’t cut yourself short. Working together on homework is to some extent expected, but having the the same answers is a clear violation of the honor code and cheating.
