Microcontrollers play an important role because they add intelligence, flexibility, control, and interactivity to the electromechanical products that we use. Household appliances like microwave ovens, refrigerators, thermostats, alarm systems, washing machines, etc., and almost all modern automotive, and office accessories like photocopiers, scanners, fax, and printer fingerprint attendance system all use microcontrollers. Not to mention its use in aircraft, spacecraft and robotics, and medical technologies.
With such omnipresence of microcontrollers and their development in the industry, the demand for professionals in embedded and microcontroller systems is very high. This Microcontroller Programming Training is designed for students planning to develop a project in microcontroller systems. This is especially beneficial for engineering final-year students who are developing a project based on microcontrollers and embedded systems.
This training course will equip students with the practical knowledge and skills to become capable to work in actual job scenarios. Thus, this course is ideal for students from programming backgrounds who are intending to move into the embedded system, especially Microcontroller design, and programming.
With this course, students will be able to perfect their circuit design concepts and skills. Students will also be able to develop project concepts in microcontroller programming and advance their knowledge and practical skills in the workings of any circuitry.
How the Microcontroller Programming Training Course Is Designed?
This training program is designed to impart foundational knowledge on microcontroller and microcontroller programming to the students. This program will deal in-depth with the programming language used in microcontroller programming and various strategies, tools, and techniques for writing codes for microcontroller programming. This program will enable the students to develop a device and its integration with the interface. With this course, we aim to produce capable programmers who will be able to understand basic requirements and then design a layout for creating a microcontroller using the concepts they gained during the training.
This Microcontroller Programming course is divided into the following components:
- C programming refresher knowledge --- Optional for those having previous knowledge in C programming and compulsory for those who don't have prior knowledge in C programming.
- Microcontroller basic--- fundamentals of microcontroller, circuit board, and its components
- Writing codes--- hex code, binary codes (machine language)
- Interfacing with different output devices like LED, LCD, etc.
How do we conduct classes for microcontroller programming training?
The classes are conducted on two hours daily basis, with one hour each for instructional and practical sessions. Students are provided with practical examples and introduced to industry practices. At the completion of the scheduled instructional syllabus, students will be assigned Project work, which will help them to realize the level of learning and professional expertise in students. During the project work, students are constantly guided, monitored, and supervised by the project supervisor.
Objectives:
- To enable students to know about microcontrollers, their operation, and their uses
- To provide knowledge of writing codes for microcontroller systems and integrate the codes with circuitry.
- To make students solve their final year project with their own effort.
- Making the learner completely familiar with the microcontroller as well as making them able to read any sort of electronic device with the help of the microcontroller.
Who can join microcontroller programming?
Those who are interested in the electronic field along with some programming knowledge can take this training. It is not necessary that the learner should be of an engineering background. But some knowledge of programming languages like C, C++, etc will be very beneficial.
Hence, the training will be beneficial to all the final year students of the electronics engineering plus to those who have an interest in this field.
