Digital Electronics 2 (Fall 2003)

Course code : IDEL2-U01
ECTS Credits : 10 Status : Compulsory
Revised : 04/11 2003 Written : 19/08 2003
Placement : 2. semester Hours per week : 8
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : Danish and English

Objective : To enable the student to:
- interface ports, keyboard and display to a microprocessor system.
- use programmable integrated circuits in a digital system.
- use pseudocode for describing structured programs.
- write, test and download a structured program in Assembly and C++ to a single board computer.
Principal Content : Microprocessor hardware, including basic principles for an 8088 minimum system with peripheral circuits.

Assembly programming including 8088 architecture, segmentation, addressing methods, instruction set, interrupts and programming tools.
Teaching method : The teaching is based upon a big project to be completed in groups.
The project is a joint project involving DEL2 and OOP2.
The project is to be documented by a number of reports.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge similar to DEL1 and OOP1
Recommended prerequisites : None
Relations : DEL2 is part of a course unit consisting of DEL2 and OOP2.
Type of examination : Oral examination based on a project
External examiner : Internal
Marking : Scale of 13
Remarks : Admission to the examination will depend upon the reports being delivered on time and completed satisfactorily.

The oral examination is a joint examination together with the study module OOP2

At the examination each student is allocated 30 minutes to the joint examination.

The examination is a group examination but the marking is individual.
The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the study module. The evaluation is based on the report, the oral performance and the functionality of the project.

The group presents the project by giving well-prepared presentations.
The duration of the presentation should normally not be less than 1/3 of total time.
The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the project are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span.

After the presentation the supervisors and the external examiner pose questions inspired by the presentations and the report. The questions are a priori individual but may - if found relevant by the supervisors or the external examiner - form the basis of a broader group discussion.

During the evaluation by the supervisors and the external examiner, the project group leaves the room. Afterwards the group is summoned and the individual marks are explained.

If the student doesn’t pass the examination, the student is given guidance on how to improve the chances of passing.
