| Methods and Techniques | 1. Theoretical Explanation: The topics are explained theoretically within the scope of the course. Students listen to topic explanations in order to understand the basic concepts of programming and the logic of algorithms. 2. Applied Studies: Students carry out studies with various examples under the mentorship of the course instructor in order to apply the topics explained theoretically. Gains are tried to be achieved. 3. Step-by-Step Solution: The encountered problems are solved step by step and how each step works is explained. With this method, students are provided with a better command of the topics. 4. Real Life Examples: Real life examples and problem scenarios are presented for a better understanding of the topics. In this way, students see how to use what they have learned in practice. 5. Laboratory Sheets and Quizzes: Students' progress is evaluated with weekly laboratory handouts and pre-exam quizzes, and whether the topics are understood is monitored. |

Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach students the basic principles of embedded systems, hardware and software components, and application areas. Within the scope of the course, students will learn the structure and operation of embedded systems and will be introduced to basic components such as microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and memory units. In addition, they will develop simple embedded system projects with basic programming and circuit design techniques.
Students will learn to design solutions for real-world problems by providing hardware and software integration and to analyze these systems. At the end of the course, students will understand how embedded systems are used in industrial and consumer electronics; they will have gained the ability to develop basic applications with various sensors and actuators. This course aims to provide a basic infrastructure for students to work at a professional level in embedded system projects in sectors such as automotive, robotics, IoT, and medical.
