Description	Embedded systems Write programs for embedded microcontrollers, and interface the microcontroller to support circuitry; Design interfacing circuity for communication between microprocessors and peripherals; Write C programmes for embedded microcontrollers that control peripheral hardware Control Engineering Introduction to Control Engineering Control fundamentals: Modelling of simple mechanical and electric systemsAnalysis of systems Steady state error analysis, Stability (Simplified Nyquist), Stability margins. Control Design Design based-upon Nichols and/or Bode plots Compensator design via classical loop-shaping Case studies Implement the skills and knowledge acquired during the module in the design and construction of a complete product.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Students are able to use the C programming language for embedded computing Students deepen their understanding of embedded microcontrollers and communication protocols used by computers Identify and describe the main control techniques used in industry. Use the methods of physical modelling to develop math models for common engineering systems. Evaluate time and frequency domain responses of transfer function models. Relate closed-loop system behavior to the open-loop characteristics in the frequency domain Design cascade compensation practical control systems Apply these Control techniques in the experimental Lab environment. Design of a complete product
