一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>Concepts and techniques for using microcontroller-based embedded systems to gather data and control 
<br>peripheral devices. Relationship between microcontroller hardware and software, including input/output 
<br>operations. System-level issues including the system architecture, power management, energy storage and 
<br>harvesting, and network communication are also introduced. Functional requirements are realized through 
<br>system design including a course project.
