The world of microelectronics has been acquiring an additional tool in recent years, namely communication with the outside world and in particular the Internet.
During this UP, the engineering student will be able to acquire the necessary knowledge or the use of Internet communication protocols within embedded and communicating devices.
The learning support will be a set of microcontroller platforms that engineering students will learn to program and to which they can add external components to increase their functionality.
| On completion of the unit, the student will be capable of: | Classification level | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Know the different types of communications in systems | 1. Knowledge | Essential |
| Understand the purpose of a communication protocol | 2. Understand | Essential |
| Build communicating systems from subsystems | 3. Apply | Essential |
| Analyze existing communication systems to improve them | 4. Analyse | Important |

| Course | The UP will begin with a presentation course that will allow students to learn about the communication protocols discussed, as well as their types of uses. |
| Practical courses | During the hands-on sessions, students will learn the tools to implement communications within their systems. Each practical work session will address a different concept and complement what has been seen in previous sessions. |
| Case study | Students will be able to consolidate their learning by completing a case study that will allow them to apply everything they have learned to date. |
