Module
AC22006 Physical Computing
Coordinator
Dr Michael Crabb
Toggle Module Description
This course introduces you to physical computing, particularly programming microcontrollers, together with consideration of some of the important prototyping and testing issues concerning the use of computers systems. In particular you will be made aware of the importance of well-designed human-computer interfaces and the extended interactional opportunities afforded by a rich range of sensors and actuator connected to the microcontroller. Experimental design will be considered in the context of physical computing projects. The course lasts for 11 weeks (followed by exams). The balance of teaching and practical experience gives you the opportunity to develop a clear picture of the capabilities and limitations of information technology systems, while the many examples will allow you to acquire the necessary skills to put your knowledge to practical use.
