Course Description

This course is designed to develop your skills and knowledge to design and develop digital systems. It will allow you to understand how to:

• work safely
• follow design brief
• interpret device/ component specifications
• construct prototype devices
• apply programming techniques to programmable devices
• test developed system prototype operation
• verify compliance of the design against the final brief
• document design and development work

This course and delivered and assessed with the following: UEEIC0012 - Develop structured programs to control external devices
