10.    Course Goals (acquired competencies):  The course objective is introduction to microcontrollers, their construction and exploitation features and application. The student upon completion will be able to use microcontrollers for conversion and use of electricity, digital control of electrical machines and related industry application.

11.    Course Syllabus: Needs and opportunities for application of microcontrollers in conversion and use of electricity. The basic architecture of microcontrollers. Understanding and application of basic programming packages for design, simulation and debugging of microcontroller systems. Features of input output ports and their functions. Features of the digital analog conversion, counters, timers and other special functions. Communication protocols on the microcontroller with external devices and their connection, and connecting to a computer by providing hardware and software support. Electromagnetic interference, an overview of sources and techniques of protection. Practical examples of managing the conversion and utilization of electric power microcontrollers.
12.    Learning methods:  Combined learning: Lectures, supported by presentations and visualization of concepts, active participation of students through tests and tasks to solve in class, homework and projects, laboratoty exercises.

20.    Forms of assessment During the semester, two partial exams are provided (at the middle and at the end of the semester, each with duration of 60 minutes), tests that are conducted during classes and laboratory exercises. The requirement for passing the course through partial exams is minimum 50% of the total number of points from all activities (partial exams, tests and laboratory exercises).
In the exam sessions, a whole exam is taken (with duration of 120 minutes). The requirement for passing the course through an exam is minimum 50% of the total number of points from all activities (whole exam, tests and laboratory exercises).
Also, each student should prepare individual project and provide it by the end of the semester.
During the exam and tests, it is allowed to use datasheets, books, scripts and computer. Communication or consultation with other persons during the exam is strictly forbidden.
