Modern electronic engineering systems are often referred to as embedded systems and these systems are the main focus of Electronic Engineering in ATU Sligo. Embedded Systems combine hardware (electronic circuits), software (computer programs) together into products such as mobile phones, MP3 Players, computer network routers, aircraft guidance systems and automobile engine management systems. This is year 3 (the award year) of the Level 7 BEng in Electronic Engineering. Having completed the programme, you will be able to: Implement serial communications protocols on an 8-bit microcontroller.Use software tools for digital signal processing.Write embedded code for an 8-bit microcontroller.Complete an embedded systems project with an 8-bit core.Design, integrate and test an embedded system.
