It gives hands-on STM32 tutorial and embedded system principles, which is related to Computer Organization but less detailed in architecture and more focused on embedded system design, like bus, Interrupt, I2C, peripherals, etc.

Each lab has practices to program the peripherals on STM32 based on the topic and you'll be assigned a MiniSTM32 board through out the semester. There're probably 3 programming assignments in C using STM32CubeMX IDE, and largely they are
- 1st assignment is a simple tool with LCD screen display, LEDs and buttons (KEY0, KEY1, KEY_WKUP), those with GPIOs.
- 2nd assignment deals with UART, Timer or IWDG, those with interrupts.
- 3rd assignment plays with touch screen, and most likely it requires implementing a game.
The instructors introduced a robot car. Who knows how long the cars will serve. But the principles of project are
- It must contains a MiniSTM board (used in labs and assignments).
- It must includes as much topic as possible, and additional wireless communication (2.4G is based on SPI and bluetooth is based on UART)
