OBJECTIVE:

 

The objective of this class is to give students a through knowledge of programming and interfacing of the Intel family of embedded microprocessors.  Hardware and software laboratories are used intensively for students to apply theories and concepts of this class with hand-on experience. Students should be able to construct a single board computer which including the embedded microprocessor 80186, memory, and I/O systems.  In addition to the hardware labs, students will develop software programs using DOS and BIOS functions to control the keyboard, display, and various other components in the computer system.

 

TESTS AND GRADES:

 

There will be two course exams and a final exam (non-comprehensive final exam).   The relative values of the components of your final grade are as follows:

                                                                       

        Homework                       5%      

        Software Labs                  8%      

        Hardware Labs                12%    

        Course Exam #1               25%    

        Course Exam #2               25%    

        Final Exam                       25%

      

 

Software Labs: (For all Students) Several software lab assignments are involved in assembly programming on the personal computers located in Room 216.  Software labs are given weekly and will be checked by a teaching assistance on lab day. Late labs will lose 4 out of 20 points per school day. Labs more than five days late will not be accepted. Each lab report is due on the following Monday.

 

Hardware Labs:            (For group of two students)  Several hardware labs are involved in the construction of a single board computer (SBC) based on the 80186 microprocessor. The project is to be designed, wire‑wrapped and tested by a team of two students. Progress evaluations are to be held on lab day. Each student will be required to submit lab report on the following Monday of the assignment.  Grade of each student will be given separately based on his/her work on the project.  Students who do not finish the hardware labs will not be allowed to take the final exam. 

 

For each laboratory (both hardware and software) 30 points is the possible grade, 20 for your demonstration and 10 for your individual lab report.

 

 

Attendance Policy

 

Attendance is required for this class.  Students who miss more than 8 class meetings, the quarter grade will be dropped by one letter grade.  Students who miss more than 12 class meetings will not be allowed to take the final exam.

 

FINAL EXAM

 

The final exam is scheduled on Monday, 6 May 2002, 10:15-11:45 AM (1½ hour), Room ECC 216.

 

MAKE UP EXAM POLICY

 

Make up exam is allowed only on the emergency cases.  The make up exam will be given on Friday, 3 May 2002.

 

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

 

“Academic dishonesty, including but not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of student status, and resume falsification.  Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the use by paraphrase or direct quotation, the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgement; unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in selling or otherwise providing term papers or other academic materials.” …… Student Handbook.

 

Student(s) who violate the academic dishonesty described above will receive an F grade from this class.
