Course Description

In this course you will gain the skills and knowledge required to develop and test structured programming instructions for microcontroller devices at a fundamental level.

It includes microcontroller device code architecture and programming fundamentals, writing and testing specified instructions, and documenting development activities.

In this unit, the term ‘micro’ refers to microcontrollers, however, competency in the unit can be achieved using microprocessors.

This course is delivered and assessed with the following course:

UEEIC0002  Assemble, enter and verify operating instructions in microprocessor equipped devices 

National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:	UEEIC0010 Develop and test code for microcontroller devices
Element:	1 Identify microcontroller device code to specifications
Performance Criteria:	1.1  Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied 1.2  Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work 1.3  Scope of specification to be developed is determined from job performance requirements and in consultation with relevant person/s 1.4  Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with person/s involved on the worksite 1.5  Appropriate development kit and software are selected in accordance with specified requirements and required performance standards 1.6  Strategies are implemented to ensure programming is in accordance with relevant industry standards/protocols
Element:	2 Develop microcontroller device code to specifications
Performance Criteria:	2.1  WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out work are followed 2.2  Microcontroller functions and features are applied to developing microcontroller device code specifications 2.3  Structure and syntax are applied to developing program specification for target microcontroller function 2.4  Key features of the assembler programming language are identified and applied to develop and test microcontroller device solutions 2.5  Approaches to issues/problems are analysed to provide most effective solutions 2.6  Quality of work is monitored in accordance with performance agreement/specification and/or workplace procedures or relevant industry standards
Element:	3 Test and document microcontroller device code to the required application
Performance Criteria:	3.1  Testing workplace procedures are developed to analyse code developed 3.2  Problems, faults and bugs are identified and rectified to ensure specification in the creation of the code is met 3.3  Intermediate and final work reports are written in accordance with relevant industry standards and presented to appropriate person/s

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency in the above elements. 

Details of Learning Activities

As this course is delivered in a cluster (Microprocessor OS), please refer to the course guide Part B for course UEEIC0002(EEET7452C) for information about student directed hours. You must enroll in both the courses delivered in this cluster. All the learning and assessment activities will include the components of both competencies UEEIC0002 and UEEIC0010.

Teaching Schedule

As this course is delivered in cluster, please refer to the course guide Part B for course UEEIC0002(EEET7452C) for the proposed teaching schedule.

Overview of Assessment

Assessment for this course is ongoing throughout the semester. Your knowledge and understanding of course content is assessed through participation in class exercises, oral/written presentations and through the application of learned skills and insights. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on CANVAS.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1: Assignment - Due date Week 3 to week 12
Assessment 2: Project - Due date Week 16

To be deemed competent students must achieve a Satisfactory (S) result in each assessment.

The overall result for the course, delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessments, are:

CA - Competency Achieved
NYC - Not Yet Competent
DNS - Did not submit

Resubmissions
For each assessment submitted by the due date in this course, students will be given feedback within 2 weeks of the assessment submission. If you do not submit your assessment by the due date or if your first attempt is not satisfactory you will be allowed one (1) resubmission attempt for each assessment in this course. Your teacher will provide you with a new due date for your resubmission attempt if required.
