CET 3503- Microcomputer Technology I
(3 credits) Microcomputer assembly programming, including overview of architecture and operating system environment. Course prerequisites: High level language.
This course introduces the architectures of Microcomputers. Covers the fundamentals of microcomputers based systems knowledge. This course provides applied theory to the μC8051 (micro controller), along with hands on experience of programming a commercial Micro
Controller development package.
CO1:

Students will be able to describe the architecture of a modern computer, identifying its major components and their functional relationship.
CO2

Students will be able to employ the instruction set of the 8051 in programming simple applications in assembler and C programming.
CO3

Students will be able design modules to manipulate timers, interrupts, serial interfaces and A/D and D/A converter within a project.
CO4

Specify, design and implement a basic operating system solution with the μ C8051

Professionalism and Ethics :
Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated!!! Violations of student academic behavior standards are outlined in The Golden
Rule, the University of Central Florida's Student Handbook. See ttp://www.goldenrule.sdes.ucf.edu/ for further details.
Per university policy and plain classroom etiquette, mobile phones, pagers, etc . MUST be silenced during all classroom lectures and exams. Those not heeding this rule will be asked to leave the classroom immediately so as to not disrupt the learning environment.

Course Assignments
• All assignments are due on or BEFORE the scheduled due date and time. Absolutely NO late assignments will be accepted.
• All assignments must be submitted via WebCT, unless specified otherwise.
• All assignments must be submitted in a high-quality and professional manner. They should be well-written and understandable.
The steps/methods of solving the problems should be clearly stated.
• Students are encouraged to collaborate outside of class to discuss and debate course concepts. However, all assignments MUST be completed and written up individually. Each student is required to turn in his or her own solutions. If the assignment has been designated a team assignment by the instructor, one copy of the assignment solutions containing the names of all team members is required.
Exams
All exams will be on line. Students will be given a time window during which the exam can be taken. If students have problems submitting their exam for any reason (system is down etc.), they need to get in touch with Kim Okamoto, the WebCT specialist for the college at 407-823-5248 or email her at kokamoto@mail.ucf.edu
.
Any other question about the exam should be directed to the instructor.
Makeup Assignments and Examinations
•
Make-up exams will only be permitted under extreme circumstances. There will be material that is not covered in the textbook. The student will have to be responsible to correspond with the instructor via WebCT or email.
