Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Programming for Real-Time Systems
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Industrial Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2021
Module code: WIBb21-430
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
450 class hours (= 337.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore -187.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
 
- use the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to program a microcontroller (Arduino).
 
- illustrate the differences between an implementation for microcontroller-based systems and an offline implementation.
 
- design a flowchart for the microcontroller-based system.
 
- implement code for the Arduino based on a given flowchart.
 
- integrate selected sensors and actuators using the microcontroller.
