Module summary

The teaching and assessment methods shown below will be kept under review during 2020-21. In particular, if conditions allow for alternative formats of delivery, we may amend the timetable and schedule appropriate classes in addition to (or in place of) the Online Learning Workshops. For Semester 2 (from January 2021), we anticipate that this will be most likely, in which case online teaching will be substituted for traditional face-to-face teaching methods, including lectures and practical classes. ‘Independent online learning’ will involve watching pre-recorded lecture material or screen-casts, engaging in learning activities such as online worked examples or remote/virtual laboratory work, etc. Students will be expected to fully engage with all of these activities. The time commitment for independent online learning, and also the frequency and duration of Online Learning Workshops, are approximate and intended as a guide only. Further details will be confirmed when the module commences.

Objectives

The objectives of this module are for students to further develop their C++ programming skills and learn more advanced software engineering and embedded software techniques. Additionally students will complete an individual project in order to develop their soft skills.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students should be able to:

1. Write, compile, run and de-bug complex C++ programs using appropriate software engineering techniques.
2. Implement advanced embedded software techniques on a microcontroller.
3. Implement advanced embedded software techniques on a microcontroller.
4. Demonstrate initiative, independent learning, creativity, problem-solving, time management and project management skills.
5. Present their work in an effective manner.
