Introduction to Microcontrollers Programming & Troubleshooting
New Certificate Course
Microcontrollers can be found in just about anything you use on a daily basis. You'll find them in audio systems, televisions, cars and many other applications.
It's no wonder that today's labor force has a big need for technologists who specialize in solving problems and designing products using microcontrollers.
Course Description
This new 17 lesson self-paced distance learning course is ideal for students with no prior programming experience who want to master the basics of troubleshooting and programming Motorola's 68HC11 microcontroller.
Both hardware and software are covered in detail to provide a complete understanding of the principles underlying how a microprocessor works.
Theory is supplemented by an Online Companion designed to illustrate concepts explained in the textbook as well as offer interactive activities designed to promote learning.
By learning how to program the 68HC11 at an elementary level, readers also gain valuable experience using manufacturer-specific documentation that prepares them for work with more sophisticated microcontrollers.
There's even a chapter on C Programming to provide an introduction to high-level programming language.
Best of all, you’ll earn a professional Certificate of Completion in Microcontroller Technology suitable for framing when finished!
These are the same 17 lessons found in CIE's Electronics Associate Degree program. You could transfer any completed lessons from this course over to CIE's Electronics Associate Degree and get full tuition and academic credit.
Instructor support is included with this entire program so you never have to study alone. If you ever have a question call us and we’re there for you. As a CIE bookstore student you’ll have access to CIE’s e-grade web site where you can take your exams.
