the engineering system design process and giving you practice designing and implementing an embedded sense response system using programmable 8 bit microcontrollers Course Plan At the beginning of the semester you will receive a kit containing electronic parts that you will use to design and build an electronic system according to a Project Specification Working individually you will develop a set of systems engineering design artifacts and deliverables and complete a series of design and development milestones according to the course schedule You will do two complete builds of the system The first build will be based around the Arduino Uno board and Integrated Development Environment IDE while the second build will be based on an ATmega328P integrated circuit implemented on a breadboard and programmed in ANSI C Lab Schedule Support This course will drive you through a systems engineering design development process rather than teaching you new fundamental ECE material This course does not provide the rigid week to week schedule and the kind of TA support you typically have in an ECE course Each of you will undergo your own system design and each of you will therefore have a unique experience in this course You will have your own lab kit and you are free to work on your system design and development where and when you see fit provided you meet the scheduled delivables defined in the semester schedule We will not have scheduled lab sessions for this course Rather Marston 221 will serve as a place you can visit if you want to use a work bench and test equipment if you need replacement parts and if you want to get perspective from one of the TAs or UTA s who will be in the lab on a schedule that will be posted to Moodle Readings There is no textbook required for this course The datasheets for the ATmega328P microcontroller will be useful throughout the second half of the course and URLs for these resources will be provided Many open source resources exist online for students who want help with the Arduino programming part of the course 1 Background Knowledge Prior experience with C programming and the AVR ATmega328P MCU is a pre requisite for this course This material is covered in ECE 231 Introduction to Embedded Systems If you haven t previously taken ECE 231 but are taking that course now you should enroll in ECE 397A ST Design Process instead of ECE

Massachusetts Amherst is committed to providing an equitable educational opportunity for all students If you have a documented physical psychological or learning disability on file with Disability Services DS you may be eligible for reasonable academic accommodations to help you succeed in this course If you have a documented disability that requires an accommodation please notify me within the first two weeks of the semester so that we may make appropriate arrangements for you Academic Honesty Statement Since the integrity of the academic enterprise of any institution of higher education requires honesty in scholarship and research academic honesty is required of all students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Academic dishonesty is prohibited in all programs of the University Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating fabrication plagiarism and facilitating dishonesty Appropriate sanctions may be imposed on any student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty Instructors should take reasonable steps to address academic misconduct Any person who has reason to believe that a student has committed academic dishonesty should bring such information to the attention of the appropriate course instructor as soon as possible Instances of academic dishonesty not related to a specific course should be brought to the attention of the appropriate department head or chair Since students are expected to be familiar with this policy and the commonly accepted standards of academic integrity ignorance of such standards is not normally sufficient
