Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Students are expected to perform MATLAB calculations, write m-files and use MATLAB for control and linear systems based purposes.
- Activities:
- 1. The students are required to perform sequentially tasked laboratory work demonstrating their understanding and abilities to use MATLAB to solve problems in the fields of control and linear systems. These include control stability, system response and closed loop design in the MATLAB environment, PID control and mathematical dataset manipulation. These areas will be assessed through an online (LMS) one-hour test and laboratory marksheets.
- Related graduate capabilities and elements:
- Discipline-specific GCs(Discipline-specific GCs)
- Critical Thinking(Critical Thinking)
- Creative Problem-solving(Creative Problem-solving)
02. Students are expected to program a development board in Embedded C language and enhance debugging techniques and logical programming skills.
- Activities:
- 2. The students are required to perform sequentially tasked laboratory work demonstrating their understanding and abilities to program an embedded microprocessor. The demonstrative tasks include, peripheral control (LEDs, switch and numerical keypad inputs and writing to an LCD. These areas will be assessed through a written assignment, two online (LMS) one-hour tests and laboratory marksheets.

- Creative Problem-solving(Creative Problem-solving)
03. Students are expected to develop circuit design skills using Altium tools and printed circuit board (PCB) layout.
- Activities:
- 3. The students are required to perform sequentially tasked laboratory work demonstrating their understanding and abilities to use Altium Designer tools to design circuit schematics and translate them into a functional printed circuit board (PCB). These include layout principles in both schematic and PCB designs, functional problem solving when routing PCBs, copper track thickness calculations and physical component placement considerations. These areas will be assessed through a written assignment, online (LMS) one-hour test and laboratory marksheets.
