Diploma Programme in which this Course is Offered	Semester in which Offered
Electronics & Communication Engineering	4th Semester

1. RATIONALE

The engineering technologists (i.e. diploma engineering holders) have to develop skills for system design of Automatic circuit operations in various fields. Microprocessors & Microcontroller are the sole of all embedded electronic equipment and are used in most of the areas of electronics. They include product ranges from tiny consumer electronic products to complex industrial process controllers. A diploma engineer needs to maintain such systems. Programming practices will further help the students to develop indigenous microcontroller-based applications. Hence this course is designed to achieve the system maintenance competency among students.

2. COMPETENCY

The purpose of this course is to help the student to attain the following industry identified competency through various teaching learning experiences:

Maintain microprocessor-based system.
Maintain microcontroller-based system/equipment.

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project is group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.

The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshopbased, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The

student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industryoriented COs.

A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. This has to match the competency and the COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course teacher.
