Methods and Techniques 1. Teorik Anlatım: Konular ders kapsamında teorik olarak anlatılır. Öğrenciler programlamanın temel kavramlarını ve algoritmaların mantığını kavrayabilmeleri için konu anlatımları dinler. 2. Uygulamalı Çalışmalar: Öğrenciler, teorik olarak anlatılan konuların uygulamasını yapmak için ders eğitmeni mentorlüğünde çeşitli örneklerle çalışmalar gerçekleştirir. Kazanımlar elde edilmeye çalışılır. 3. Adım Adım Çözümleme: Karşılaşılan problemler adım adım çözülerek her adımın nasıl işlediği açıklanır. Bu yöntemle öğrencilerin konulara daha hakim olması sağlanır. 4.Gerçek Hayat Örnekleri: Konuların daha iyi anlaşılması için gerçek hayattan örnekler ve problem senaryoları sunulur. Böylece öğrenciler öğrendiklerini pratikte nasıl kullanacağını görür. 5. Laboratuvar Föyleri ve Quizler: Haftalık laboratuvar föyleri ve sınav öncesi quizler ile öğrencilerin ilerlemesi değerlendirilir, konuların anlaşılıp anlaşılmadığı takip edilir.

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.
