at a time.
For in-person classes and Lab
classes, students must follow the following rules:
Students must:
●
wear a mask while in class and Lab
●
not gather in the hallway outside of the classroom before class, but
come directly into the room
●
upon entering the classroom, grab two disinfecting wipes to:
○ Wipe their desk or workspace
surface before being seated
○ Wipe their desk or workspace
surface after being seated
●
not come to class if they are feeling unwell, but go to
Health Services immediately
● Students
will attend Labs to demonstrate their projects. Rules will be mentioned in
detail later. Additional
Information
●
The class will end precisely on time, and students must exit and
progress to their next location.
●
All classrooms are equipped with lecture capture capabilities.
EE260: An introductory course covering the fundamentals of microcontroller hardware and software. Topics include microcontroller systems, input/output (I/O) standards, data communication protocols, interfacing with memory systems and sensors, data collection, display, and control of peripheral modules and actuators. The Microcontroller will be programmed in the C programming language. Interfacing assembly language to high-level language code will be treated as well. A comprehensive term project will allow student teams to apply the theoretical concepts for solving a practical problem using microcontrollers and peripheral devices. (Each Spring)

This
course is the first real design experience for students in the ECE department.
While not every student in this course will work in embedded system development
after they graduate, the process learned in this course will be invaluable in
future design courses and places of employment.
Please pay attention to the class lectures, make sure you know the due
dates for the homework and projects. One most important way to succeed in this
class is to start early and not wait until the last moment. There are
many details that cannot be learned in a short period of time. Please
see tips for being a successful student and other helpful information from the Student Success
Center.
Educational institutions promote the advancement of
knowledge through positive and constructive debate--both inside and outside the
classroom. Please visit and follow Netiquette and
Electronic Learner Interaction Guidelines.
Students who submit homework or reports will lose 25% of the original score for every day late. Projects not
demonstrated on-time will not be graded. If a student has a good reason, please
contact the instructors ahead of time. A no-show without any reason is
considered as work not done.
Attendance is required. The attendance of the lecture
classes will decide 5% of the grade.
Zoom’s features will be used to record attendance. Therefore, students must use
their real first and last names in Zoom.
Lectures will be delivered
synchronously and will be

Academic Integrity, based on the
values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility, is a
fundamental principle of scholarship in higher education. Clarkson’s Academic
Integrity Policy prohibits plagiarism (using another person’s writing or
copying any work without proper citation), falsification, unauthorized
collaboration during a test or on an assignment, or substitution for another
student to take an exam, course or test, and other forms of academic
dishonesty.
If you are to benefit from this
class and be properly evaluated for your contributions, it is important for you
to be familiar with and follow Clarkson University’s Academic Integrity policy.
Please review this policy online (Undergraduate
section IV – Academic Integrity, Graduate section IV
– Academic Integrity). Work that violates this policy will not be tolerated. Students
who are found responsible for a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy will
have both a university process sanction and an academic outcome, that could
include a failing grade on the assignment or exam, or a failing grade for the
course.
Please refer to Clarkson Library’s Guide
to Plagiarism
and the guide
to Citing Sources for assistance on avoiding
plagiarism and properly citing sources.
The University strives
to make all facilities and programs accessible to students with permanent,
ongoing, and temporary disabilities by providing appropriate and reasonable academic
accommodations, as necessary. Disabilities that may benefit from reasonable
accommodations include, but are not limited to, broken wrist, ADHD, surgery
recovery, Learning Disability, concussion, visual impairment, etc. For more
information and/or to request accommodations, contact the Office of
Accessibility Services at oas@clarkson.edu or 315-268-7643.
