Teaching Methodologies
The teaching and learning methodologies for the Digital Systems and Microcontrollers course are student-centered, with both practical and
theoretical approaches. The main methodologies include:
Expository Theoretical Classes: Presentation of fundamental concepts on digital systems, microcontrollers, and logic circuits.
Practical Laboratories: Hands-on activities where students assemble, test, and analyze digital circuits and program microcontrollers.
Project-Based Learning (PBL): Development of projects that integrate theoretical knowledge with practice, encouraging problem-solving.
Simulations and Design Software: Use of simulation tools and software to test digital circuits and program microcontrollers.
Continuous Feedback: Ongoing assessment of students’ progress, providing guidance and corrections during practical activities.
This approach ensures that students develop technical and practical skills, aligned with the student-centered pedagogical model, which
focuses on active learning, problem-solving, and the development of competencies essential for the job market.
Learning Results
Learning Objectives: Students should understand the fundamental principles of digital systems, including Boolean algebra, logic gates, and
the implementation of combinational and sequential circuits. They should also gain knowledge about microcontrollers, including their
programming and use in digital systems. The ability to integrate logic circuits with microcontrollers to develop practical solutions will be
essential.
Compatibility with the Teaching Method:
Knowledge: Theoretical lessons to present the fundamental concepts of digital systems and microcontrollers, focusing on logic theory and
programming.
Skills: Practical laboratory sessions to develop skills in designing and implementing digital circuits and programming microcontrollers.
Competencies: Practical projects that integrate theory and practice, encouraging problem-solving, teamwork, and technical communication
