content: This looks like a lot of fun... unless you're actually taking the course.What's with the no library part? Cornell doesn't have a library any more?

content: I love this part of the Course Overview;PurposeThe purpose of this course is to enable students to carry out sophisticated designs of the modern digital systems which now appear in products such as automobiles, appliances and industrial tools. The basis of such systems is the microcontroller, a microcomputer optimized for single-chip system design by possessing many peripheral devices geared to real-time applications. The microcontrollers we will use are the Atmel MEGA series RISC microcontrollers.This course is a design course. This means that we will expect you to show considerable creativity, flexibility, and motivation.In particular you will need to:Hit the web and even go to the library to find your own answers to questions you have.Read and understand every aspect of manufacturer's data sheets for a variety of devices.Read class-related email daily. You are responsible for any course information communicated by email.Use material from many of the courses you have taken at Cornell. Dig out those old textbooks and stack them on the corner of your desk. Topics from ECE 2100, 3010, 3020, 3100, 3140, 4450, 4750, or 4880 may be useful in this course, particularly depending on the final project you choose.Find solutions on your own from incomplete specifications. The lab assignments become more open-ended as the semester progresses. Clever, efficient solutions will be rewarded.In other words, we are trying to make it a little like the real world.
