Base Knowledge
No previous courses are advised.
Teaching Methodologies
In the theoretical classes, the expository method predominates, complemented by the resolution and analysis of examples. Laboratory classes allow the consolidation of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the semester through guided resolution and analysis of the results of the proposed exercises, as well as a set of guiding and structuring works.
Learning Results
Understand how a computational function is applied.
Understand and designs both combinational and sequential digital systems.
Learn a microcontroller operating principle and behavior

Curricular Unit Teachers
José Pedro de Matos Nogueira AmaroGrading Methods
The final assessment consists of a practical component and a theoretical component.
Theoretical component: The evaluation consists of a written test in which the student must obtain a minimum grade of 40% of this component.
Laboratory component:
The assessment consists of two tests and a set of laboratory works, preferably with weekly frequency and a final project. The laboratory evaluation also consists of a continuous evaluation component. The weights of each component are as follows: laboratory work - 30%; continuous assessment - 15%; tests - 30% (test 1 is quoted for 10% and test 2 for 20%); final project 10%. The evaluation of the laboratory component has a minimum of 40% for admission to examination.
The final grade is obtained with a component of 25% of the theoretical exam and 75% of the laboratory evaluation and must reach a minimum total of 9.5 points.
Both assessment components may be subject to a complementary component to be carried out individually and orally.
