Course Title: Microprocessor and Embedded Systems Laboratory
Type of Course: Compulsory, Sessional
Offered to: EEE
Pre-requisite Course(s): None
The sessional course will be conducted in two parts. In the first part of the sessional course, the students will perform experiments in relevance with the EEE 415 course. In the second part of the course, the students will perform design projects related to EEE 415 course contents to achieve specific program outcomes.
To perform experiments in relevance with the theoretical concepts of the course EEE 415: Microprocessor and Embedded Systems
To conduct design projects in order achieve specific program outcomes described in the Course Outline
Fundamental understanding of concepts of EEE 303 - Digital Electronics
