This unit provides an introduction to C programming. No prior programming knowledge is required.
The aim is to develop algorithms in a systematic way and read and write the C code to implement algorithm
for real-time applications.
Students should be able to:
· Use understanding of architectures of different processors (general purpose processor, micro-controller, DSP, FPGA, GPU), to select appropriate platform and associated toolchain for specific application/task.
· Use standard development tools (such as IDE, Compiler, assembler, linker, command file and debugger) to produce efficient programs in C language.
· Design, implement, test, optimise and debug C programs that implement an algorithm.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
Formative : Coursework 1
Summative: Coursework 2 (100%)
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. EENG20004).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
