4 0 0 3
Pre requisites: Digital logic design, computer organization.
Course Educational Objectives:
✤ To familiarize student with the various technologies used in
embedded system design
✤ To learn about advanced models used in describing embedded
systems,
✤ To understand the need for communication interfaces,
